Oshkosh Research Paper

Once upon a time there was a nursing student named Jensen Richards. Jensen had always had a passion for nursing and compassion for people. This compassion only grew stronger once she was old enough to work in a nursing home as a CNA. Going to Oshkosh for nursing seemed to be an easy choice for Jensen; it was the only school on her mind.

Jensen knew what the next step would be and was feeling confident about it. She would go to a different school if Oshkosh didn’t accept her on the first
