Student Story
"The recipe for success exists at RCoN! The faculty truly care about your future and they are there to see to it that you are successful. Since graduating I have had the pleasure to experience the world and serve as a nurse in the United States Army. Because of the foundation I gained at RCoN, I now have the unique opportunity to provide input on the strategic future of my organization while leading and developing some of the nation's greatest healthcare teams across the spectrum of military healthcare."
