Knowing that I've been home for 14 years and this has given me an opportunity to come back into something that's relevant is huge ... that's a great motivation to keep me going each day to know that I'm that much closer to ... being able to help support my family, that much closer to seeing myself succeed at something that's just for me, it's just been great.

I never realized how much a CNA did ... it's a great place to start, especially if you're wanting to get into the healthcare industry and become a nurse or a PA or a doctor. It's a great stepping stone.

I will say to people out there looking at NextStep, give them a chance. I think they're doing a great job. The communication is fluid. It's constant. The follow-up is wonderful … they really stick by what they promise.
