Nursing ADN Program“I...loved living in the Berkshires and wanted to make a good decision on choosing a next career in terms of availability of jobs, cost of living and being satisfied in my next role. That’s why I chose the nursing program at BCC.” 
Once she was accepted into the program, Cristina recalls that study groups with peers were essential: “It was a small group of people and you really were able to gain those peer relationships fast. When I did require extra help, I would go to a teacher and they were always available. The resources are there, you just have to utilize them to be successful. Everybody wants you to be successful, you just have to ask for help.”
