Applying“My two favorite aspects of the RN-BSN program … are the faculty and the opportunity to complete the program quickly. I have been fortunate to develop several friendships and professional relationships with the faculty at Utah Tech, and I can confidently say they genuinely want you to succeed. Another highlight of the program is the flexibility it offers; I chose to complete my degree in just two semesters, while others may opt to take one class at a time.”
“The best thing about taking online classes was just that you could can do it anywhere that you want and your family might not even know that you’re doing it. So that means that you can still be there for the soccer games and the football games and you won’t miss the touchdown pass that your 9-year-old throws.”
“I’m sure there’s … older students that may think “well, you know I have a lot of handicaps. I’m older; technology is somewhat of a hard thing for me; maybe my GPA is not that great.” I would say don’t let that hold you back. If you want something, then go after it. And Utah Tech is one of those kind of places that’ll give you the opportunity to prove yourself; so it’s been good for me.”
