Hey! How are you doing? Came to this thread to find out about Rasmussen. Did you graduate? Are you still glad you chose Rasmussen?

Any updates or success stories since the last posting?

I have not read all the responses; but, for me it comes down to this: We nurses (I'm still in school) were professionally trained and given the knowledge on how to live a healthy life. It would be very odd to tell a person they need to lose weight or quit drinking and smoking if we are doing it ourselves. How are we credible? ...and by the way, I know what you're thinking...I'm still in school, what do I know...I'm too young to know about menopause and all the other previous excuses. Well, I'm in my mid 50's and I have been working blue collar jobs all of my life. Now, I'm changing direction and careers. Why would someone go to a fat doctor to learn about Diabetes? Why would someone go to an Oncologist who smokes cigarettes in- between patients? As an older person, I see how the general public judges people, it's natural. Most people judge by appearance only because that may be all they have to go on. For that reason, I am going to try hard to eat healthy and lift weights as much as I can so that I can be mentally / physically / esthetically healthy. After all, it's going to be hard enough to get someone to hire me at an older age anyway, once I get out of school!!
