Susan Leatham
Kaysville, Utah
Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN to BSN)
“I’m a full-time employee, and I’m a mom. I didn’t even know if I could do online school with working full time. The best thing about taking online classes was that you can do it anywhere that you want, and your family might not even know you’re doing it. That means you can still be there for the soccer games, and the football games, and you won’t miss the touchdown pass that your 9-year-old throws.”
