Meet Gloria Atuna, a Nurse Assisting alumna!👩⚕️💚 We asked Gloria some questions about her experience at Emily Griffith Technical College! ⬇
Q: “Was there a specific moment in your training—a lesson, a project, or a conversation—where you realized, 'I can actually do this as a career’?”
A: “I always wanted to become a nurse. My journey began when I enrolled in the CNA program at Emily Griffith. My instructor, Ms. Terry, was incredibly encouraging, supportive, and knowledgeable. She made us feel confident that completing the CNA program was a great first step toward a nursing career. Her guidance and belief in us reinforced my passion for nursing and made me realize that this was truly the career I wanted to pursue.”
Q: “If you could go back to your first day of class at Emily Griffith and give yourself one piece of advice, what would it be?”
A: “It is worth all the time and effort.”
Q: "Because of Emily Griffith, I am now able to ______.”
A: “turn compassion into action and make a real difference in the lives of the people I care for.”
Gloria, thank you for sharing your experience with us! 💚⭐
