My personal resolution consisted of one word: encouragement

My husband got extremely sick with a stomach flu over during Thanksgiving, and it was up to me to care for him. This was easy for me to do because I love him, but I started thinking about nurses who care for complete strangers every day.
I am thankful that there are wonderful people who dedicate their lives to caring for others, and I'm glad that I work for a company who can do something to help them get the education they desire.

I was lucky enough to come across a woman who truly inspired me when I recently contacted a customer to see how she was progressing in her LPN to RN program. I noticed that she had set a goal to finish her program in the summer of 2010, and I wanted to see how she was progressing.
She proceeded to tell me through email that because of illnesses in her family, she had not yet reached her goal. However, she was determined to completed her online courses for nursing.
She wasn't discouraged, because the self-paced education and training offered through The College Network was a great option for her. She knew that she could continue in her program even after taking time off.
While she admitted that it is sometimes hard to stay motivated, she knew that it was possible to complete her nursing degree and earn her RN license.
This woman was a true inspiration to me because of her determination to advance her education. I wanted to share her story in the hopes that she might inspire you as well.

In a recent interview, singer Fantasia Barrino thanked her nurse for helping her realize that she had something to live for.
Fantasia had a lot of personal struggles, and she made the decision to end her life by overdosing on pills. Fortunately, doctors were able to save her. She admitted feeling disappointed that they had saved her, but then she received some "tough love" from an amazing nurse.
"She was a blessing into my life because she didn't tell me what I wanted to hear, she told me what I needed to hear and she looked at me and said, 'You gotta get up and you gotta get outta here, because you haven't fulfilled your destiny,'" said Fantasia.
It was this nurse who truly saved Fantasia Barrino's life, because she cared enough to tell her what she needed to hear. You can watch the entire interview by clicking here.

She knew from the first day she signed up to be a donor that it was meant to be, but as someone in her family, the experience was a little more difficult for me. I was so proud of my wonderful mom for her selfless act, but worried about her at the same time. After all, this was not an entirely small, routine procedure.
Seeing how well all of the nurses treated her made the experience so much easier. It was obvious that not only had they attended good nursing schools to get the training needed in order to their jobs, they were also caring and compassionate people who really wanted to help her any way they could.
This experience made my job at The College Network even more meaningful. Each day, I play an integral role in helping people find nursing programs that meet their needs, and allow them to get the advanced education they desire.

On June 21, an editorial in the The Detroit News reported that state lawmakers in Michigan are currently voting on an issue that could change education at community colleges.
State lawmakers are voting on "legislation that would allow Michigan community colleges to grant four-year degrees in select high-need areas." One of the areas being considered is nursing.
While the author of this article was against allowing these community colleges to grant four-year degree based on lower graduation rates at community colleges and the overall expense of four-year programs for taxpayers and students, there are other options to consider.
The College Network offers a way for adults to go back to school for self-paced education and training to earn degrees from highly-respected universities. This means that working adults, as well as those who are not currently employed, can earn the education they need without interruption to their other responsibilities.
Degrees are offered in nursing, healthcare, business, fire science, criminal justice, software development, legal studies, and more.
Our programs are often less expensive than attending a traditional campus classroom, especially when costs associated with child-care, time off work, and commuting to and from campus are considered.

This post was interesting because the author writes that you should not choose a college based on over-all ranking, but by the information and rankings that are important to you.
Ask yourself what is important to YOU when it comes to education.
Is it self-paced study, interaction with other students, an established brick and mortar institution, specific programs that interest you, or something else?
The College Network partners with many different universities to offer a wide variety of programs that can be completed online though self-paced education and training.

With The College Network, customers must be self-motivated and dedicated to earning a degree no matter what obstacles appear to stand in the way.
It is important to carefully weigh all of your options before making a selection. If you stay true to yourself and choose a program the represents your needs, you can be sure that you will be pleased with your decision. Best of luck...
According to a recent post on HealthLeaders Media, many nurses are not able to find jobs following graduation from LPN schools or diploma programs.
"As many healthcare organizations battle the nursing shortage that is only expected to worsen as baby boomers retire and the need for healthcare grows, new nurses entering the field in cities may be surprised with how they are greeted: An associate's degree in nursing is not good enough," wrote Sarah Kearns of HealthLeaders Media.
