I’ve wanted to be a nurse since I was six years old. There is something about taking care of a person in their lowest moments that I find very humbling and fulfilling. Being a nurse isn’t easy. I am extremely proud and grateful to be where I am today, and I wouldn’t change my career choice for anything.
I decided to attend Hondros College of Nursing because I wanted to start working in the healthcare field as soon as possible. With Hondros’s program I can do that. The class sizes are smaller which makes learning easier and more enjoyable. The teachers work with students and get to know them on a deeper level. The staff at Hondros are also very helpful and take pride in helping students achieve their goals. This is something I admire about this school.
To those out there thinking about nursing school, it is not easy. However, if you are passionate, you can do it. It takes hard work, dedication, time, sweat, and prioritizing. For those who may think they are “too old” to be a nurse, you are never too old to achieve your goals and dreams! Reach for stars and remember, no one can take this moment away from you. Good luck future nurses!
