I wanted a career that would allow me to travel. I see a lot of friends unable to travel or move to a different location because of their jobs, and I did not want that to be my story. Nursing offers me the flexibility I needed to move around and not be stuck in one place.
I made the decision to attend Hondros College of Nursing because they gave me the confidence I needed to take the first step. They have a high NCLEX pass rate, and I wanted to be sure that when the time came, I would be prepared to take and pass the NCLEX.
To those considering nursing or healthcare, take the necessary time and discipline to be prepared! This is not an easy path. Be sure to take each term seriously and use the tutoring sessions that are offered. Remember to use the library, it is there for a reason. Plan and tackle one task at a time to reach your goals.
