I have been a nurse for 9 years, mainly in Labor and Delivery at Door County Medical Center in Sturgeon Bay. My favorite aspect of the RN to BSN program here at CUW is its flexibility in pursuing further education while working full-time and raising a family. CUW stands out to me because it provides an avenue to strengthen my faith and a path aligning this faith with my nursing practice.

One of the things I’ve loved most about the graduate nursing program at Concordia is the kindness and support of the faculty. Professors, clinical adjuncts, and academic advisors are approachable, encouraging, and truly invested in your success. The program’s flexibility allowed me to maintain a balance between work, school, and life as a twin mom, which is something I’m incredibly grateful for. I am proud to leave Concordia not only with the education needed to be an NP, but also with a deeper understanding of what it means to lead with faith, compassion, and purpose.
