“I chose Dakota College at Bottineau because of the autonomy and choices it offers students enabling them to pursue their LPN and or RN. The DNP’s program is structured strategically to help students build a strong foundation, starting from the basics and progressing into complexities that create and mold well-rounded nurses. The program and its instructors, through their trust and support, have given me more than nursing skills and the ability to think critically; it has changed me as a person for the better. I have grown from a person who was constantly questioning herself to a strong and confident person. I welcome this change and will forever be grateful for how DCB has raised me as a nurse, knowing that it has given me the tools necessary to be the best I can be. To prospective students, it truly does take a village, and DCB can be that village. Do not be afraid to ask for help, and when the path gets bumpy, don’t forget to look back down that road and see how far you have come and know that it means something.”
