“
When I was a PN student at Great Plains my house was burglarized and my computer stolen. I was devastated! I didn’t have the money to replace the laptop. I thought I would have to quit the program. Thankfully the Foundation quickly stepped-in and provided a computer. The quick response allowed me to successfully finish the nursing program”!
