Becoming an RN One Class at a Time

Dmitry Rybin was working as a Surgical Technologist when a coworker told him about the Education Fund.

With the help of Education Fund programs and career counselors to provide guidance, Dmitry applied for nursing school, taking one class at a time. He was able to continue working as a Surg Tech while he was in school and became “more and more motivated each semester.”

After ten years in healthcare, Dmitry graduated nursing school and became an RN. He said he looks back at where he was ten years ago and “doesn’t recognize himself.” Going back to school sparked a passion for learning he didn’t know he had. Dmitry encourages his colleagues to “start small and follow their passion” – it might just change their life.
