Kelsi Fields ’23, Bachelor of Science in Nursing
“The nursing program did an excellent job preparing me for the nursing field. The professors were great at explaining aspects I didn’t fully understand. I felt very encouraged and supported in my journey at RSU. Use your resources in your field of study. My advisor was so helpful my last semester when I was deciding on what job to accept. She helped me realize where I’d be a good fit. Don’t be afraid to ask questions.”
