By | | Comments 0 Comment

When Kasen Meek decided to leave a career in marketing to pursue nursing, he knew he wanted a program that would help him serve his community while advancing his education. Through the University of Louisville’s online RN-BSN program, Kasen is doing exactly that. 
 
“The kindness of nurses struck me over and over again – and solidified that nursing was my calling,” Kasen said.  

Kasen enrolled in UofL’s LPN-to-BSN pathway, which allows working nurses to continue providing care while earning credit towards their degree through online coursework. The flexible format and strong faculty support have helped him balance coursework with his role as a licensed practical nurse in Kentucky. 

Meeting Kentucky’s Need for Skilled Nurses
