Beth, LPN Graduate Success Story

Before enrolling at Sumner College I was actually attending another school that unex- pectedly closed right before I was to graduate. I was fortunate enough to find Sumner College and finish my Practical Nursing program! Growing up I was always told I had a compassionate disposition. I had an opportunity to become a CNA which sparked my interest to do more. I knew I had to become a nurse! I love helping people to live their best life. I chose Sumner College because of the instant support I received after my school closed. I felt welcomed and I received kindness at every turn.
