DAYTON, Ohio, Nov. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- It is said
that twins have a special connection on many levels so it shouldn't
come as a big surprise that sisters Courtney Grimm and Whitney Mettler came to the same career
conclusion – that it was time for a change and that nursing was the
answer.
The twins are pursuing their associate degrees to become
registered nurses at Hondros College of
Nursing's Fairborn, Ohio campus in
the Dayton area. It wasn't a
tough decision as both are LPNs and wanted to advance their careers
through education and earning their RN licenses.
Both women came to nursing naturally, they say, as they were
surrounded by medical professionals throughout their lives.
"Growing up in our family, we were surrounded by those in the
medical field," says Grimm. "Our aunt was a nurse, our uncle a
doctor. My mom is a nurse and our stepfather is an EMT/firefighter.
Also, our stepsister is also in nursing school for her RN as
well."
Both students agree that the hands-on training received at
Hondros College of Nursing is the most
important aspect preparing them best to advance in their nursing
careers.
"The hands-on training and clinical education are by far the
best way to prepare for your career in the field," Mettler
said. "They say you won't truly learn something until you do
it hands-on."
But the bottom line is that the twins are going through this
program together, changing their lives through education at
Hondros College of Nursing.
"People think going to school with a sibling is tough," says
Grimm. "It can be tough sometimes, when you both are competitive
with grades but at the same time you want each other to do
well so one doesn't get left behind. I feel like we are slightly
tougher on each other than we are with our friends just
because we push each other to make sure we get to the finish line
together."
Mettler adds, "I wouldn't change it for anything in the world.
Having my sister by my side not only for high school, LPN and now
RN, I couldn't do it without her support. The best part is always
having someone you can count on. What we set our minds to, we will
succeed together."
