Have you ever wondered - where do nurses come from? Well, wonder no more. Here are five examples of people who went back to school to become a nurse.
Nurses come from all different backgrounds. Some people know that they want to be a nurse when they first start school while others go back to school later in life to become a nurse. With Marian University’s Accelerated BSN program in Indianapolis, we see a lot of career switchers. These people have chosen one career and decide to go back to school to become a nurse.
