Building a Career, One Academic Step at a Time
February 25, 2019 /
It wasn’t planned.
The path that led Candice Retas from an interest in studying music and the arts to a career in nursing was one that just unfolded.
“I definitely did not map this out,” Ms. Retas, 26, said with a laugh. “It was kind of one step at a time.”
Actually, it was one credential, one academic building block at a time.
The first was the associate degree from Nassau Community College that Ms. Retas, who is from Elmont, N.Y., earned in 2012.
“I’d originally wanted to have a career in music and painting,” she said. “But then I took this biology class and really liked it, and did well in it.”
