Graduate Testimonial

Daniela Rinninella Minutelli ’23MSN

UCF’s Nurse Educator MSN program was well-structured, academically rigorous, and thoughtfully designed to support working nurses. Faculty were highly engaged and accessible, and the coursework emphasized evidence-based practice, leadership, and real-world application, making the learning immediately relevant. I especially appreciated the flexibility of the online format, which allowed me to balance school, work, and family while staying motivated and focused.
