With full transparency, this program was not designed to be easy…read more
You will definitely give all of your time, your energy, your effort, and sometimes, your sanity. What you will receive, however, are those same sacrifices from each staff member at Marsha Fuerst.
Throughout my time here, I have been challenged more than I ever thought I would be, but I have also been met with more support and encouragement than my heart could handle. Being a part of this program has transformed me into a more confident, compassionate, and curious individual while also providing me with the tools I need to be successful as an RN. I've read through some of the reviews and all that I can say is, this program is as committed to our success as we are, so if we are not succeeding, maybe it is a call to look inward and grow.
If you humble yourself and learn to read between the lines, you will see that each person here WILL challenge you, WILL press you, WILL correct you, but it is because through their wisdom, they see something in us that we fail to recognize at times. And they are not merciless, they will not ruin your life, but they will apply just enough pressure to sprout the seeds planted inside of every one of their students.
The path to becoming a nurse is not easy for anyone, however, thanks to the unwavering standard held by MFSON West Covina, the journey for me was one of the most rewarding, transformational experiences of my life.
A few nuggets of wisdom given to me: it's okay to go underwater as long as you learn how to come up for air, don't be a task monkey, and success water is the best water.
Thank you all for keeping the bar high, for speaking life and encouragement into me, for freely sharing your wisdom (regarding nursing as well as life), and for being the hands that walked me along the path when I felt lost. Thank you for helping me see my worth as a student and a person. As I close one chapter to begin another, I will proudly remember where I came from and confidently uphold the values of compassion, understanding, safety, accountability, integrity, and respect, just as they were to me here.
