“Earning my BSN at St. John’s College was a great experience.”

Toni, BSN 

“As an associate-prepared nurse for 31 years, I always wanted to pursue an advanced degree. Due to my other obligations, the timing never seemed right. Two years ago, I realized the time to pursue my RN-BSN had come! I chose St. John’s College of Nursing’s RN-BSN online program. 

“As an older student, I worried about my learning ability. However, this program, which consists of one class every eight weeks, allowed me to focus my attention on a singular topic of study. The professors were helpful and understanding when I needed extra attention or simply encouragement. The time required for classes and study was manageable. The online program conveniently allowed me to complete my degree from my home and fit into my life, which included a full-time job, enjoying my grandchildren and caring for my aged in-laws. 

“As a full-time HSHS colleague, most of my tuition was covered, and the reimbursement process was easy. I was challenged and, as I like to say, stretched in the best way possible as I learned. I am confident my education has better prepared me for my current position and any challenges that lie ahead. 

“If you are thinking about pursing your advanced degree, I highly recommend St. John’s College of Nursing!” 

— Toni M., class of ’23
