Supporting adult learners

Nursing graduate student Mary Converse began her degree program 20 years after her RN nurse's training. She says, "The knowledge I had as an adult learner and as an experienced RN was not only respected in the curriculum, it was a necessary part of the learning."

"The instructors are patient, helpful, and understand the busy life of their students. Being able to succeed at this course of instruction has brought personal fulfillment and re-invigorated my professional practice."
