If you are considering going back to school to advance your nursing education, know that all the hard work will be worth it in the end. Develop a strong, detailed plan, research options and stay organized. You should also seek out resources such as employee assistance, grants, scholarships and financial aid to avoid debt.
Just know that the family and work-life responsibilities will continue regardless of school and if you have children, the education plan must facilitate life balance in order to promote success.
The College of Nursing and Health Care Professions at Grand Canyon University provides students with a unique experience because of the type of environment they promote. Students get to walk through their education through the lens of a Christian worldview and have faith integrated within the curriculum. I teach online, and we have a spirituality forum so students can view and post encouraging scripture, prayer requests and/or stories. The forum promotes love, acceptance and responsible leadership which helps encourage students when they need it.
An important lesson I hope students carry with them is to know they are never alone in their nursing career. God is always with them, guiding their hands and the providing knowledge to help others.
