Barnes is a passionate mom, retired competitive skier and a MN student who loves to make lists. She wants to become a RN because it will allow her to combine her adoration for kids, value for women’s health and passion for inspiring others. She appreciates that nursing is a path that will allow her to make a difference in someone’s life. 

Barnes was drawn to the program because of its reputation, the accelerated pace and the support she received from School of Nursing faculty and alumni during the application process. 

She plans to work in labor and delivery once she graduates and she wants to get her DNP degree eventually. Aside from her career, being a mom is her pride and joy. She is excited to spend time with her son and help him explore the world.
