Crystal’s Story
Before enrolling in Sumner’s Practical Nursing program, I was working as a Medical Assistant. I have enjoyed taking care of patients and being their advocate during their time of need. I am glad I chose Sumner College because there were no pre-requisites for the program, and the instructors were very involved with the student’s success!
