Joan Pittman, Associate of Science in Nursing, 2018; Bachelor of Science in Nursing, 2022

Joan Pittman of Atlanta, Georgia, earned an Associate of Science in Nursing and Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2018 and 2022. She shares, “I completed my registered nursing degrees at Excelsior College in 2018 (ASN), and Excelsior University in 2022 (BSN), and I’m now presently pursuing my master’s degree in Care Coordination. I stand on the oath of being a lifelong learner to stay current in my nursing career and provide quality safe patient care. I continue to pursue my nursing career in the midst of grieving the transition of my husband, the late Mr. Edward James Pittman, who always encouraged me to obtain my RN degree. I thank Excelsior nursing instructors for guiding me to accomplish my goals. I was fortunate to have a nursing assignment paper published in the American Journal of Nursing on Sept. 21, 2021, titled ‘Gun Safety.’”
