Self Care: Full Body Herbal Tea Detox 

✨ Self-care isn’t optional when you’re 40+ in nursing school — it’s mandatory. Earlier this year, I faced a serious health scare that forced me to take a medical leave of absence from my previous program. Today, I’m sharing my story of resilience, self-advocacy, and faith — and the exciting news of my acceptance into a new nursing program that truly supports and accommodates its students. 🙌🏾 If you’re a career changer, over 40, or just starting your pre-nursing journey, I hope my story inspires you to prioritize your health and choose a school that values YOU as much as your future patients. 💙

    I had considered making a career change for years, but like many others, I felt stuck. At a stage in my life where time is not on my side and with a family to support—including children in middle school and college—I simply didn’t have the time or money to focus on my own desires and needs.

    That perspective completely changed when I came across your blog. You break down the process in a way that is understandable, digestible, and, most importantly, doable. Thanks to your guidance, I am now officially on my way to gaining my RN degree.
