“I love the hands-on work in the Practical Nursing program. We have the opportunity to apply everything we’ve learned from our textbooks when we’re at clinicals and in the classroom. Completing this program will allow me to get into the nursing field, become more marketable in the workforce and allow me to do more for my family.”
