Nursing has turned from a path she was curious about in eighth grade into a passion that has shaped her goals for the future. “At the end of the course, [students] are eligible to sit for their state testing to become a certified nursing assistant,” she said. In May last year, Brynn spent time completing her clinical hours at the JML Nursing Home in Falmouth, where her time was spent checking in on patients and learning more about the practice of nursing. “For a while I wanted to be a labor and delivery nurse,” said Brynn. Brynn said the biggest benefit of spending time in the nursing world is how it has helped her improve her communication skills.
