- Bachelor of Science in Nursing
"I recently earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from Saint Xavier University. Throughout the program, I was challenged academically and personally, growing into a more confident, compassionate, and skilled future nurse. My time at Saint Xavier was filled with clinical experiences in a variety of settings—from hospitals to community clinics—that prepared me to care for patients from all walks of life. I learned the importance of evidence-based practice, teamwork, and advocating for those who need it most. Earning my degree wasn’t always easy, but the support from my family, friends and mentors kept me going. I am proud to be part of a profession that serves others and grateful for the strong foundation Saint Xavier gave me as I begin this next chapter in nursing." - Soraya
