- Linda Spinetti, MSN '19I believe nursing changes continuously and it is important to remain current. This
MSN gave me hope that I could be a stronger voice for hospice and palliative care.
This degree is a way for me to continue to work in the specialty I adore. I am motivated
to educate the community and to improve care and quality of life.
