“When I was in high school I wanted to do nursing, but it wasn’t cool, guys weren’t nurses [back then],” Scott said. “So I let peer pressure dictate what I did.” For 25 years he pursued a career in cooking before realizing that he was not satisfied by this line of work. It was during the process of becoming a father that his interest in nursing, specifically in labor and delivery, really peaked. “It kind of started a little fire, a little spark in me,” Scott said.
