Education

Rockhurst University, Kansas City, MO

What a beautiful campus! I’m so excited for my visit!

I am thinking about attending RU because of their openness, really. They are a Catholic college, and I am by no means Catholic, but they accept people of all denominations. They even have a specific division devoted to helping students find a church and community in the area where they can worship in their way. I like it, because it holds the opportunity of diversity.

I want to get my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree. I plan on getting my bachelor’s rather than associates, as that seems to be what most hospitals are looking for now.

 

 

 

 

I have already applied to RU. The deadline for early admission applicants for Fall 2019 was September 1st, and I wanted to get the ball rolling!
