We start by taking an inventory of what your child wants from their college experience and what is realistic and affordable for your family. From there, we build a balanced, list of schools.
Consider some of the following:
What are the GPA requirements to be admitted to the program?
Are standardized test scores required?
What are the nursing-specific clubs, research opportunities, or special programs that align with their interests?
There's no one-size-fits-all formula - it's about finding the right balance.
Every great story starts with a spark - and I've helped over 100 students find theirs. I help students uncover what makes them stand out with a focus on the characteristics nursing programs seek.
Coaching can help students:
reflect on the moments that drew them to nursing
consider their unique qualities and experiences
use detail and examples to craft an engaging essay.
They should share their motivation for wanting to attend that program and what inspires them.
Demonstrating nursing interest during high school can help students gain clarity about their nursing career aspirations and strengthen their application.
These experiences should:
show commitment to healthcare
build relevant skills
demonstrate understanding of the field
help confirm their career choice
The key is showing genuine interest and dedication to healthcare through sustained involvement.
