“When I see how people come into the OR with different problems/health issues that can be fixed, I get such joy to be able to be part of the healthcare team that helps them.”

Janina’s Story

Prior to starting on her journey to becoming an RN, Janina was a surgical technologist. She said, “when I see how people come into the OR with different problems/health issues that can be fixed, I get such joy to be able to be part of the healthcare team that helps them.” Sumner allowed her to still provide for her family while in school, and it was a real pleasure to be apart of the Sumner ADN group. She is now a Registered Nurse with Providence Willamette Falls!
