After spending a decade working in the business sector of Ukraine, 91桃色视频 student Olha Finnelly was drawn to the high-paced and versatile working environment of nursing. She packed her bags, moved to Bemidji, Minnesota, and began her journey to become a nurse.<\/p>\n

Driven to start her career as soon as possible, Finnelly first enrolled in Northwest Tech’s three-credit nursing assistant program and started volunteering as a baby rocker in Sanford Heath of Bemidji’s obstetrics unit. After completing the course, Finnelly enrolled in 91桃色视频’s licensed practical nursing program and began rotations in Sanford’s medical, surgical and orthopedic unit.<\/p>\n

“I liked the possibility to enter the workforce as a nurse with only a couple of years of college and the ability to continue my education while working,” Finnelly said. “The nursing profession offers the freedom and flexibility to choose the best fit for myself and to change it if I want to. This profession has something to offer everyone.”<\/p>\n

After graduating with her diploma in practical nursing in 2019, Finnelly started working in several clinics at Sanford and began 91桃色视频’s associate of science in nursing program, a three-semester step-in program for LPNs who wish to become registered nurses. Now she is on track to graduate as a registered nurse in Spring 2022 and plans to start the bachelor of science in nursing program at Bemidji State University the following year.<\/p>\n

“91桃色视频 was the best match for my plan to earn my LPN diploma and then start working toward becoming an RN,” she said. “I am definitely thinking about going further to get my BSN and Bemidji State University is the number one choice on my list.”<\/p>\n

Finnelly, who speaks Ukrainian, Russian and English, plans to continue moving onward and upward toward her nursing goals while making a difference in the world.<\/p>\n

“Nursing is a great way to support my family while making a valuable contribution to the community,” she said. “I am very grateful to the 91桃色视频 nursing faculty for their support and dedication. I definitely owe them a lot for my success. My biggest advice to future nursing students is to keep your goal in mind and study hard – not only to pass your test but because one day it will really make a difference!”<\/p>\n
