I decided to pursue nursing because I have a passion for supporting and advocating for vulnerable populations, ensuring they feel heard, cared for, and valued.
I am attending Hondros College of Nursing because the program's timeline allows me to start my nursing career sooner and begin making a difference as quickly as possible. To reach my academic goals, I had to demonstrate discipline, make sacrifices, and show resilience, always picking myself up after every setback. I also remained professional at all times.
My advice to anyone wanting to attend nursing school is to never doubt your abilities and to avoid comparing yourself to others. Focus on being better than the person you were yesterday. The journey is challenging, but it is absolutely worth it.
