Sample Testimonial

“After having not worked for over 10 years as a nurse, I decided it was time to go back to school. My kids were all in school and I wanted to go back to school and get my BSN degree that I had wanted to get 20 years before. I applied and was accepted to the ECU RN/BSN program. I graduated 4 semesters later with my BSN and many new friends! I am so very grateful for the strength and encouragement I received from each of my instructors because online classes can be overwhelming. At the beginning of the program the instructor’s emphasized communication was an important key to success in the program. I decided to take their word and try them on it…and I never had any problems. Instructors were open and helpful whenever I had questions and encouraging when I had doubts. Before I went back to school I had feared I would never be able to go back to work because I had been out of the health care field for so long and had lost my self-assurance in my abilities as a nurse. Boy was I wrong! The ECU RN/BSN instructors gave me encouragement and the assurance that I would be able to return to nursing and that I should (and I will) go back to school to get a graduate degree. I will forever be grateful to the ECU CON and the RN/BSN faculty for their encouragement and guidance throughout the program and for their continued friendship after graduation!“
