“I’m a full-time ER nurse, and it gave me the flexibility to continue doing what I’m passionate about while providing me with a quality education. Time management is definitely important between five 12-hour shifts in a row, but I felt I had great support through the online community, and my nursing instructors laid out classes so I could make the most of my days off. It really helps to improve my studying and the quality of my work.”
