Program Details

After working as a Certified Nursing Assistant for approximately twelve years and raising two children alone, Jennifer decided it was time for her to pursue her education in the nursing field further to earn a more suitable wage to support a family of three. She also felt confident and ready to take on additional responsibilities. Jennifer enrolled in the Licensed Practical Nursing program at the Capital Area School of Practical Nursing, where she completed her training and passed her NCLEX exam. She is now a licensed practical nurse in Lincoln, and her hourly pay rate has increased by $11.00 per hour. Jennifer is also grateful for the transportation support services she received as she was required to travel approximately 80 miles round trip five days each week for training. This extra support helped her with the transportation expenses each week. Jennifer is working towards completing the admissions process for the BSN program at St. John's School of Nursing in hopes of starting this training in August of 2025.
