I was at a point that as while I was elevating in my nursing education going from a nurse to an advanced practice nurse, that I knew I needed reach back. So I started teaching high school students and showing them how to prepare for and apply for nursing school. But it came to a point where I kept noticing in that program that it was very students that looked like me. The schools and neighborhoods where my people come from weren't necessarily being marketed to attend.          

I went to several high schools and went and spoke about nursing and how to apply to nursing school and gave information on how to apply. It just wasn't feeling like enough, giving the previous students a full 25 hours of content and then the black students got 1 hour. I then started to meet youth that had went away to college or were attending community college that seemed to have missed that guidance of how to get into to nursing school straight from high school. I decided in the midst of all this to create NursingInspired.
