About
I am considered a non-traditional student due to this is my second time attending college so I can, once again, enhance my career. I currently have an AAS in Medical Assisting and have worked as a CMA for 13 years. My dream has always been to be an RN but financial struggles have prevented this from being a reality. There are no scholarships available where I live or I am not selected since I have attended college before.
