Becoming a critical care transport nurse, whether you transport patients in a helicopter or in an ambulance, isn’t something that you can achieve overnight. It takes time and experience. Most important, you have to have a strong foundation of knowledge to build on, and that’s what Barton gave me.

The small, intimate classes prepared me to teach my content area, manage a classroom, and uphold the teaching standards. I also cultivated lasting relationships with my professors. Years later one still serves as my mentor. Now, as a principal, I use the skills I learned at Barton to foster creativity and growth in current classroom leaders.

“You become an individual with a name when you walk through the doors of Barton College. Once you enroll, it becomes a home for you. Completing the RN-BSN program at Barton opened up opportunities for me to teach nursing students and to pursue my Master’s Degree in Nursing Education. Now, I am enrolled in a Doctor of Nursing Leadership Program, with plans to graduate in 2021. I am thankful for the opportunity I had to expand my education at Barton.”
