Meet Our RN to BSN Community

Learn from the Lobo nurses who’ve been in your shoes. They began their BSN journey as registered nurses, balancing work, life and school. They chose The University of New Mexico for expert faculty, a flexible program and strong support every step of the way.

Today, they're prepared to take on new opportunities, grow into their roles and help shape the future of health care.

Join our pack – and see where your BSN can take you!

I love teaching RN to BSN students for the vast real-world experience they bring to the classroom. The students are passionate and dedicated, despite busy and full lives. Their commitment to advancing their education and improving patient care is inspiring.

— Victoria Yu, DNP, JD, RN, RN to BSN Program Director, Clinician Educator, Assistant Professor

I love learning, and it's not just for my knowledge – it's also for my patients. I wanted to seek more job opportunities with a bachelor's degree, possibly move into management one day, and someday teach as well. I wanted to be culturally competent, and I crave new professional experiences.

— Cherish Seaton, BSN, RN, RN to BSN alumna

A BSN allows you to do so much more – whether it's travel nursing or specializing in different areas of care. It gives you the foundation to grow.
