LICENSED PRACTICAL NURSE

Graduate, Practical Nursing Program

“I chose Sumner’s Practical Nursing program because I really felt I would have a better chance succeeding and achieving my career goals. ”

Lyric’s Story

Prior to attending Sumner College, I was working as a CNA for four years and trying to complete nursing pre-requisites at another college.  I wanted to improve my skills and expand my role in the healthcare field. Education is important to me and can open opportunities for me to ultimately, one day, become a Nurse Practitioner.  I chose Sumner’s Practical Nursing program because I really felt I would have a better chance succeeding and achieving my career goals.  I appreciate that the students were able to practice certain skills in lab classes, which ultimately trained me to become a LPN.
