Hello, my name is Marissa Cooper. I am originally from Chicago,Il,yet I currently work in NH on a traveling contract. I am a mother to five wonderful children, who are literally my heart in human form. I have been a CNA for 17 years. Of course this wasn’t my plan to wait this long to go back to school, but life happened. I am nervous, yet excited about this new chapter in my life. I am fully aware that while it won’t be easy, it will be worth it. Going back to school for nursing was something I have seen myself doing for quite some time now. I am looking forward to 11 months of a life changing experience.
