Ryan Kosowicz
Ryan earned his A.S. in nursing at Rivier, then earned his bachelor's online while working as an RN on a post-operative orthopedic surgical floor at Concord Hospital. "I can work and finish classes fairly quickly," he says.
"The professors are great. They make the online courses very similar to being there—it's remarkable!"
He also appreciates that online courses make it easy to balance school with his work schedule, a day/night rotating shift. Ryan praises Rivier's faculty as the nursing department's greatest strength. "I like how it's one on one with the professors. They're very personable. You can always ask them questions and they're quick to answer," he says.
