Student Analysis

The learners are adults who are entering a program to become health care providers. The students are, for the most part, young adults (i.e. early to mid-twenties) and are continuing their education from undergraduate school. However, there are a number of students who are slightly older, have been in the work force for some time, and are embarking on a second career.Students come from a wide variety of backgrounds and cultures. While the majority are from an English speaking environment, there are several who only speak English as a second language. Some students come from relatively far distances and a few come from foreign countries. In addition, many of the students have young families and must juggle the demands of a full time educational program with the task of raising a young family.
