ddnursing

I'm a 34-year-old male who is in his first semester of a 1-year accelerated BSN program. I had considered becoming a nurse for a number of years, but since I had no healthcare experience and going back to school felt so costly and time-consuming, I kept putting it off until I was laid off from my corporate job in Fall 2019. Fast forward to today, and although I'm still just a student, I'm so happy with my decision to pursue this path. I've been learning so much. I'm loving the face-to-face interactions with patients in my clinicals. As with any field, it's not for everyone, but do not let age discourage you.

I declined my acceptance into the Jan 2021 cohort at San Mateo yesterday. I hope someone on the waitlist gets the good news soon!
