My coach was my biggest resource: checking in, answering application questions, and cheering me on. It never felt like I was just a number.
Night-shift CNA to RN sounded like a fantasy. Seeing schools side by side with real prereqs is what got me to hit “request info” for the first time.
First-gen and terrified of picking the wrong program. Two afternoons on Transition U and I had a short list I could explain to my family.
