As the third graduating class for the MSN program, initially I didn’t have very high expectations. However, St. Kate’s reputable nursing program served the cake. I really appreciated that all of our professors had direct nursing experience, most of them were actively practicing. All of them were very knowledgable and enthusiastic about teaching. We started doing clinicals from semester 1. The material was rigorous in a fast-paced program, but the professors really took the time to make sure we learned. The only downsides would be the cost of a private education, and the lack of job placement options.
