Rachel, RN I have always wanted to be a nurse. I am very close to my aunt who has been an amazing Nurse Practitioner for over 30 years.I always felt I had a calling to nursing. I chose Sumner College’s nursing program because they were genuinely interested in educating me and really wanted me to attend. I was able to make some lifelong friends, and meet some wonderful instructors who taught and guided me in my journey to becoming a nurse. Graduate Success Story
