In 2007 I received my CNA certification from United Technical Center. I was hired by United Hospital Center and worked on the Orthopedic floor for 4 years where I gained an abundance of knowledge. In 2011, I moved with my husband and son to Louisiana due to him being active duty and received a job working at a local rehabilitation center. Shortly after we got orders to move to Arizona for a year and a half. Then moved to North Carolina for the remainder of my husband’s service and had two more children. Being an active duty wife put a halt on my passion to become a nurse. We moved back to WV after he was medically discharged. This was when I knew I could finally go back to school to follow my dreams.
