Nancy Hillier, BS, RN
Southern Connecticut State University
With a BS in Biology, Nancy spent many years teaching math, science, religion, geography and computers in a middle school. In 2007 she decided to make a career change and pursue a career in Nursing. Southern Connecticut State University had recently received approval and accreditation for its Accelerated Career Entry (ACE) program. The program was a perfect match for Nancy.
“I am now working as a Registered Nurse in a pediatric office. I have found that this has been a great opportunity to work with patients and families in the promotion of well-care and in the development of newborns, adolescents, and young adults as well as assisting patients who are ill and in need of immediate health care.”
She says the Ace Program provided a thorough nursing education and excellent clinical training which “has greatly helped me to meet new challenges with confidence. From the onset of my nursing education, I have found nursing to be a very exciting profession with opportunities for advancement and continuing education. The nursing profession has been most rewarding for me thus far and I look forward to many fruitful years.”
