All three transitioned from Licensed Nursing Assistants (LNAs) to LPNs as part of Pathways, which provides scholarship opportunities for healthcare nursing professionals to advance their careers.

This exceptional team of nurses truly represents the next wave of compassionate healthcare providers.”

The LNA-to-LPN scholarship is part of Catholic Charities NH Pathways program, which extends financial support for entry-level candidates pursuing LNA certifications and offers select scholarships for LPNs seeking to advance to a Registered Nurse (RN) degree.
