In his final semester at the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC), nursing student Tyler shares how he wasn’t sure how someone with no health care experience could start his career path as a nurse.
When did you realize you wanted to become a nurse?
Tyler says, “I’m also a pastor of a small Christian church and I had been looking for ways that I could provide for my family while still being able to focus on ministry. And after my wife became a registered nurse, I realized that nursing is a way for me to not only earn a living, but it’s also a way that I can make a practical and tangible impact on people’s lives.
What do you think about your program at CCBC?
“I wasn’t sure how someone like me with no health care experience could get into nursing. But Community College of Baltimore County prepared me with the skills and knowledge that I would need to be a successful nurse.
Do you have any advice for others thinking about starting a nursing program?
“I would say that if you’re interested in going into health care, even if you have no experience, go for it because you’ll be entering a great career field where you can make a real difference in people’s lives.”
