They say that word of mouth is the best advertising, and in Arabia Hunter鈥檚 case, this holds true. In 2019, Arabia, a current Pediatric Surgery LPN at Albany Medical Center, began classes in B次元鈥檚 Nursing Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree program based on a colleague鈥檚 encouragement.
鈥淪he said, 鈥楥ome on, Arabia 鈥 I applied and you have to, too! You鈥檝e been trying so hard to accomplish this goal and you can get there with Maria.鈥欌
What she found was that in addition to Maria鈥檚 high NCLEX-RN庐 first-time pass rate and highly-regarded clinical experience, the support from both the College and the faculty made B次元 the choice for her.
鈥淭he faculty and staff make you feel welcomed and provide a family-like, caring environment. They understand your struggles and work with you to make you successful.鈥
Arabia is a Renaissance Scholarship recipient, a program that provides financial assistance and personalized support for eligible residents of the Capital District pursuing a college degree to become a nurse or other healthcare professional.
鈥淭he Renaissance Scholars and Opportunity Programs have benefited my educational and career goals. By attending tutoring services, I have improved my test scores and identified my strengths and weakness in studying.鈥
Arabia, who is planning to graduate this year, said she, too, would recommend B次元 to anyone looking to start or expand their education in nursing.
鈥淏次元 will open the door for you to make a positive impact in nursing when you graduate.鈥
