I can’t seem to get the consistent urgent demand that’s going on for nursing and healthcare. By 2012, it’s quoted that over a million additional nurses will be needed for the emerging baby boomer generation. Several people are talking about this and reporting it online (view article). Then there’s the perks. Flexible hours, six figure salaries (once in senior management). It all seems too good to be true. My fiancé’s mom is a director of nursing at a hospital and gets to take one week off a month in vacation, and gets paid overtime! Not only that, she gets additional pay incentives for working the night shift.

There is obviously a need and a demand for what is obviously a great career path. How else would I know? I market it. I consistently see people who are looking to change their lives, and also to improve their quality of living. I see graduating students going to great jobs at Stanford, and other surrounding bay area schools (check out last year’s graduating class video, second video from the top). I also want to point out that we didn’t produce that student video. It was provided by our great class of students in 2006. I’m proud of the fact that we help people reach their dreams, and also improve their career opportunities. I ask you. Why not fill out a form? Speak to an educational advisor. There’s no risk. The only thing you have to lose is a chance at finding out what can be a great new life.
