One day a year and a half ago, 31-year-old Heather Yeager, a mother of four, came home from her job as a shipping company supervisor and told her husband that she didn’t want to go back to work. She wanted to go back to school to become a nurse, pursuing a lifelong interest in the medical field.
“He said, ‘Just do it, ” Yeager said. “It all fell into place.”
After quitting her desk job, she got licensed as a certified nurse assistant and worked at the Doak Walker Care Center. She wanted to be sure nursing was the right path for her before pursuing a full-fledged nursing degree.
