The RN-BSN program really has a lot to offer new and experienced nurses. The program has a good flow and work pace that set you up for success. I felt like my professors and instructors communicated very well and were easy to communicate with. Expanding my skills, knowledge, and confidence as a BSN prepared nurse was the best decision I have made since starting nursing school.

The RN-BSN program at the University of Iowa is an excellent option for working parents! As a mother of two, I anticipated challenges, but the part-time option at the University of Iowa proved to be ideal for me. It’s designed to be accessible, and the faculty genuinely care about our success. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the outstanding faculty who have supported, inspired, and guided us throughout this journey, especially our remarkable instructors in the RN-to-BSN program: Brenda Duree, PhD, RN, Molly Frommelt-Kuhle, PhD, RN, and Betty Mallen, MSN, RN. Each of you has excelled in preparing our future nurses to succeed!

At 21, after earning a BSN in Bosnia, I thought I was done with nursing school. However, life had other plans. I moved to the U.S. and went through nursing school again five years later. Three years ago, during the most challenging time of my life, the advisor of this program offered me an opportunity to get my BSN, and I couldn't refuse. Returning to school provided stability, purpose and support from incredible faculty who guided me through it all. Despite the hardships, I wouldn't change a thing. I'm grateful for the journey, the education and the unwavering support of my loved ones
