NU499: Bachelors Capstone in Nursing was a great class that prepared me for the new role as Registered Nurse with a BSN. There is more expected from me as a RN with BSN, therefore I have really enjoyed the critical thinks skills that were enhanced in this class. The 10 weeks were not easy, but necessary to pave the way for a better nurse to care for patients.

I have learned about myself and by the Grace of God will continue with my Masters and Nurse practitioner in the next two months. I am excited and know that my career is bright because of my faith in God, hard work, determination, and Kaplan University. I am ready to serve my community with everything that I have learned and know that I will make a
