Congratulations!
A nursing degree, earned without leaving home.
When Xiaoli Chen discovered UNBC offered the Northern Baccalaureate Nursing Program in her adopted home of Fort St. John, she knew she could build her career without uprooting her family again.
Earlier this month, Xiaoli walked the stage with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree in hand and a job lined up at the Fort St. John Hospital.
“During my first few years in Fort St. John, my family and I were shown so much kindness and support from the community, and now I feel it is my turn to give back through my work as a nurse,” Xiaoli says.
