"My experience in the M.S.N. program at Immaculata was a great one. The classes were small and personal, topics chosen related to current health care situations, and the faculty were knowledgeable. The faculty brought their professional experiences to the classroom, making the classes very interesting and easily relatable. The group discussions among the students and faculty were the best part—you learned from everyone’s professional experiences, with each person bringing a different specialty in nursing, creating a well-rounded experience. The practicum experiences along with the classroom experience help me prepare for the position I’m currently in today and positions I will hold in the future."
