“My time in the nursing program at DeSales was a great experience. Balancing work, motherhood, and school was challenging, especially with the added stress of the pandemic, but the flexibility of online classes combined with on-campus offerings made it manageable. What sets DeSales apart is the personal connection with instructors, something often missing at larger institutions. As an employee of the university, I’ve seen firsthand how faculty and staff genuinely care about students’ success. Their door or email was always open. Overall, my experience at DeSales was both challenging and rewarding, pushing me to grow professionally and personally. I’m grateful for the opportunity and its lasting impact on me.”
