Katriena is a Butte College graduate and was an LVN to RN student. She is now finishing up the RN to BSN program at California State University, Chico. Katriena started nursing school over ten years ago and has been working as an RN for the past six years. She chose nursing as a career path because of her life experiences with nurses and especially nurses, aides caring for her when hospitalized as a child for a ruptured appendix. They made me feel safe and cared for, and I wanted to be able to provide that sense of security and well-being for others.
