“Citizens is a great school for nursing students of any background. My graduating class had a variety of different students with different backgrounds including CNAs, EMTs, Flight Paramedics, and LPNS. But there were also students like me, straight out of high school with no experience in the medical field. The staff at CSON always made me feel comfortable asking for help whether it be in clinical or studying for exams. Citizens has the ability to give a variety of different educational opportunities for its students. It was because of those opportunities, and experiences that I had as a student at CSON, I felt better prepared to take on NCLEX, and start my first position as an RN at Forbes Hospital. I have now been an RN for almost a year, and have begun my path toward my MSN with a goal of becoming an instructor, and a lot of that has to do with the amazing staff and teachers at Citizens School of Nursing.”

“..I realized that pursuing a career as a nurse would allow me to fulfill my passion of giving back to others. Nurses do not have time to judge people or situations. We must invest most of our time being supportive; changing lives, saving lives and comforting others. That is what I love most about nursing. I am extremely passionate about providing quality care to patients. The most important aspect of nursing is to build trust by being honest, showing compassion and helping the individual.”

“I chose a career in nursing because it offers a challenging and rewarding work environment where I will be able to push myself to be the best and to give the best possible care for my patients.
