"I grew up in Tillamook County. I participated in the health occupations program in high school and upon graduating, I became a CNA. After seven years I went back to school to get my Registered Nursing degree. I chose TBCC because its home. I absolutely loved the small class room sizes of TBCC. This was right up my alley coming from a rural high school. I could get the teachers attention and help if I ever needed it. I never once felt that any instructor wasted my time. They did a great job at teaching the concepts required. I am now a registered Nurse working locally and I love my career."
