“I had an amazing experience at Sumner College with my class and staff, and I am not stopping at being a LPN! I would really love to come back next year for the ADN program!”
Paetra’s Story
“I chose to train in nursing because I really enjoy helping others. Prior to attending Sumner College, I was working in management at Nordstrom’s. I took pride in taking care of my employees, and our customer’s needs. I always went above and beyond to take care of them. I initially chose to enroll at Sumner because I had a few friends that completed the Practical Nursing program, and had really enjoyed their experience. I am glad I enrolled because I liked that the teachers and staff were always approachable with any questions I had. I also got to experience different areas of skills, which intrigued me. I had an amazing experience at Sumner College with my class and staff, and I am not stopping at being a LPN! I would really love to come back next year for the ADN program!”
