BSN to MSN
“The MSN program at ACE also gave me a better understanding of systems, processes and change management, areas that would have felt overwhelming or unfamiliar otherwise. It didn’t just help me advance but helped me think differently and lead more confidently.”

RN to MSN
“After my husband was in a life-altering car accident, I didn’t know how I would continue in the program and care for him at the same time, but we made it through. Fast forward to February 2021, and I received my BSN, which was a requirement of my job. Then, in August 2022, I received my MSN. I am the first person in my family to graduate from college, and to now have a master’s degree is truly overwhelming. I am so thankful to ACE for the opportunity to be able to go to school online while working full time and caring for my family.”
