Class of 2020 Success Stories: BGSU celebrates milestone of RN to BSN program Ashley Adams By Bob Cunningham ’18 Bowling Green State University marked a milestone on Dec. 12 when its first cohort from the RN to BSN program graduated. Ashley Adams, who has been a nurse for six years, was one of 19 students in the first cohort. Adams grew up in nearby Helena, Ohio, and graduated from Gibsonburg High School. She said she couldn’t be happier with her experience in the program. “I chose BGSU not only because it is a local school, but it also offered what I needed,” said Adams, who works at a long-term care facility in Fostoria. “Everyone was very easy to work with in regard to getting me registered and I was able to start almost immediately. The program is flexible, which helped fit my needs while working and raising a family.
