Mary Jane Gray was ready to advance her career in a nursing leadership role. Since her employer was a partner of Drexel Online, she received a 25 percent discount to help with the tuition costs. This helped Mary Jane decide that Drexel Online was the best option.
"What I enjoy most about the online learning format is that I can attend a university and work towards a degree in the comfort of my own home. I am able to participate when my schedule allows," she said. Since Mary Jane has never taken online courses before, she was presented with some challenges in the beginning. "The first term was the roughest in terms of learning 'the system' and not knowing what to expect from classes and instructors," Gray said. "The so called 'drawbacks' [of online learning] became the rewards of taking an online class." Mary Jane explained that she would recommend Drexel Online to others. "Drexel has the staff, the technical expertise and the experience to provide an excellent educational format online."
Mary Jane plans to continue her education and move towards her goals. "My future career goals are to be able to participate in a nurse leadership role so that I can utilize my knowledge and experience. The degree I'm pursing, a Master's in Nursing Leadership and Health Systems Management better equips me to compete in the health care market."
