I am currently enrolled in the Vocational Nursing program. I came to find this program as I started my journey in the Nurse Assistant Training Program (NATP). I always loved helping and taking care of others, I just struggled to believe in myself. 

The instructors and staff here were awesome, my NATP instructor made us aware of the VN program and its requirements. It was a goal that I knew I had to work extremely hard to achieve. I completed medical terminology with a wonderful instructor here at VAS, Marixssa. She also taught the Medical Assistant program and one I've also completed. I learned so much from the instructors; They are great. The administrators have a great support system for students here. I definitely recommend attending if you are thinking of expanding your knowledge in the medical field. They also offer many other great programs.

My children, spouse and grandparents have made the greatest impact on my life. My grandparents showed me their core values and I want to make them proud. They taught me to be the best version of myself. I know they are watching over me and would be proud to see me bloom into the nurse they knew I would be one day. I value integrity, honesty, devotion, caring, and truly believe that when someone loves what they do that makes a big difference. Always doing the right thing, and like someone wise said “ always take the high road” be the bigger person.

It is never too late to start, if you have the willingness and devotion you can do anything you set your mind to. I am planning on continuing my education and becoming an RN and also achieve my BSN along the way. I would love to one day become a Nurse practitioner but only time will tell. Remember we are the only ones stopping ourselves from achieving our goals. The hardest thing is starting when it is the right timing everything will fall into place. I am a mother of four beautiful children and I won't say it is easy but definitely doable and I know it will be well worth it when my children see me accomplish my program and pass the NCLEX. So if I can do it, so can you! I believe in you!
