Steven Simpkins It has been a long, uphill road to recreate my dreams and
aspirations. When I enrolled at Highline Community College at the age
of 40, my goal was simply to begin taking prerequisites in order to enter
a nursing program. Of course, like most students, that has changed several
times over the course of 4 quarters. At present my goal is to obtain a
double Masters in Nursing and Public health taking a health care and population
health research track. At the same time I started school, I began volunteering
my services at Highline Medical Center in the Emergency Room to give myself
a taste of what I was looking to build my life around. After more than
a year, I am quite sure I have found a niche in Health Services. <<more>> |
