Maggie Cook Receives NAO Nursing Pin Award
For 12 years, Cook has worked in marketing, even owning and operating her own business towards the end of her first career choice. However, she noted that she was always encouraging friends and family who were preparing for their own college journeys to pursue a career in nursing because she herself regretted not going down that path.
“I have always had a strong passion for helping others,” Cook said. After realizing her true path was a career in nursing, and with the support of her husband, she made the decision to begin pursuing her dream of becoming a nurse.
