I'm not a nurse, but I am looking into several programs...but just for those who may also be curious about where new students are coming from...

I am a SAHM, have been for about 12 years. I have a background in Graphic Arts, but I had to take care of my dad the last few years of his life, he lived with us and my experience with that sparked my interest in nursing.
