Caroline’s Story
“I originally began my healthcare career working as a CNA/Medication Technician. I really enjoy helping others, especially the elderly. I wanted to expand my skills and knowledge, so I enrolled at Sumner College’s Practical Nursing program. Sumner College instructors are very knowledgeable, supportive, and available to the students. Their admissions, financial aid, and student and career services departments were all very helpful. The entire team at Sumner College has been amazing to me. Keep up the good work!” – Caroline
