I had just turned 23 when I started the program. However, there was everyone from a 19 yr old just out of highschool to a 46 yr old SAHM who decided she wanted to go back to school now that her sons were grown in my program.

We had a pretty diverse group. 40 graduated, of the 40 there were 2 guys. All ages, all races, all religions. It was pretty cool actually to find out how alike so many of us who may not have otherwise known each other (if not for the nursing program) were.
