Ripon prepared me very well for the MSN program at Elmhurst. While I did not have clinical rotations in any of my Ripon courses, I was very familiar with balancing the rigor of class/lecture and lab through my Ripon coursework.
Just as important as the coursework at Ripon was in preparing me for a graduate program, I believe the extracurricular activities I participated in set me up for success and allowed me to develop and enhance my leadership skills.

I feel my transition into grad school was much smoother than many of my fellow classmates at Carroll thanks to my experiences at Ripon. I was able to continue athletics while pursuing a major and two minors, in addition to working multiple jobs. This was extremely beneficial in preparing me for the time management aspect of an accelerated program. As members of the women’s basketball team, Coach Busalacchi held us to a high academic standard. For me, that has made the high GPA requirement of the MSN program easier to obtain.
