Passionate accelerated masters in nursing student at Penn
Hi! I’m Haley, I just graduated from undergrad in May and just started my Master’s of Professional Nursing at Penn. An accelerated entry into nursing for students who hold a BA/BS in a non nursing field with the option to sub matriculate into an MSN program. Im originally from Santa Barbara, CA but my family just moved to Florida and I come from spending the last 4 years in upstate NY at a small liberal arts college for undergrad.

Describe your college experience
As a graduate student, the transition is more like adjusting to a new city and living in a city after living in a small town.
Tip for future students
Walk everywhere! It’s how you leave your way around and always find a new place and cafe to try.
Favorite class
N5011: Ways of knowing nursing practice, Health Assessment. We learned how to give a patient a physical assessment. The best part was my sim instructor Marlene. She’s the most down to earth professor who took a class with more material I’d ever encountered in such a short time span seem manageable. She taught me how to assess a patient in a week. Something that took the BSN students a full semester.
Career goals
I hope to come back to Penn for my MSN in Adult Acute Care
Ideal way to spend a free night
Food trucks! Watching the sunset over the river near the bridge on the Rittenhouse side.
