BSN Fast Track Program

 
Finishing my bachelor's degree has always been one of my long-term goals, but working full-time hours and managing a home with three children consumed most of my time. By pursuing the BSN Fast Track program here at USF, I was able to realize my goal, in spite of time constraints. I was determined that school would never interfere with my work, so the Fast Track program's online option gave me the opportunity to schedule "class time" at my convenience. Initially, I was fearful that the program would be too hard to manage completely online. However, I quickly learned that support from the professors and other students were readily available and literally just a few keystrokes away. The innovative structure of the online courses enables students to refer to real life experiences from their own work environments as well as benefit from the experiences of other professional nurses. Although the program was intensive, I successfully completed all of the degree requirements within two and a half years. I am proud to have completed my B.S.N. degree, and I am excited about the opportunities that have become open to me because of it. I plan to continue my educational endeavors and acquire the M.S.N. I am confident that the University of St. Francis has prepared me to be successful in completing an advanced degree.
