Jennifer Kennedy

I have taken a break from the traditional workforce for over 10 years as I have been a stay at home mom raising my 8 children. While I have not had a traditional job, I have been staying active with volunteering over the years. My current goal is to go back to school in June to receive my STNA and then start a 18 month LPN course in October/November. My ultimate goal would be to work as an STNA until I earn the qualification to become an LPN.
