“I gained many great friends during my time at Sumner College, and had great teachers who were very kind, patient, and gave me the hands on experience!”
Alyssa’s Story
“Before enrolling at Sumner College I was taking pre-requisites in nursing at another school, and working as a nanny for a few families. I enjoyed working as a nanny because since I was a little girl, I always wanted to be a nurse. I truly enjoy helping others, and always strive to make a difference in their lives. I was really happy I was accepted at Sumner College’s ADN program because the location was convenient, the application didn’t look solely at previous courses taken, or the GPA earned. I gained many great friends during my time at Sumner College, and had great teachers who were very kind, patient, and gave me the hands on experience! One day I would like to continue my education as a BSN and work in Pediatrics.”
Alyssa is currently a RN at Clark County Jail
