Elizabeth Durovich

Nursing Graduate, ‘14
Nurse Practitioner, Owner and Founder, Monarch Psychiatric NP, PLLC

“BMCC made me the nurse I am today. I felt community and warmth and hope from BMCC. The college offered the best education out there in my field, but is sometimes under recognized. BMCC was the door to opportunity that I never thought was possible.”

"I may not have thought of BMCC as my first or ideal choice, but it turned out to be the best thing I could have done. The people I met, the support services, and the dedicated professors that took the time to encourage me--I wouldn't be where I am today without their support."

“I left the Philippines seven years ago, and I never would have imagined I’d be working at the Metropolitan Opera. Working at the Met seemed like such a far-fetched idea, but after my experience at BMCC, where I met all these professors and supportive classmates, where we were constantly pushing each other to do more, it left a lasting impact.”
