New Ways of Growing!
"I was a Level I Medication Aide for 13 years before I decided to take my career further and become a nurse. Being a LIMA awarded me an abundance of knowledge and experience which prepared me for the nursing field. I wouldn't trade the path I chose for the world. You can do it too!" -Nurse T, Instructor
