Amery's Own Triumph: Local Woman Graduates with Honors from CVTC After Overcoming Academic Hurdles

Jessica Somsen, a 30-year-old from Amery, recently graduated with honors from Chippewa Valley Technical College (CVTC) in River Falls. After previously failing core classes at another institution, Somsen successfully completed her nursing degree, achieving her goal of becoming a registered nurse (RN). Her academic journey showcases her persistence and commitment to overcoming earlier challenges.

Initially, Somsen faced academic difficulties at Northwood Technical College and was dismissed from the nursing program. She then worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant at Amery Hospital, gaining valuable experience that renewed her interest in nursing. This role helped prepare her for her return to academic studies.

Somsen resumed her education by enrolling at CVTC. Despite concerns about her past academic performance, she embraced the new opportunity and focused on her studies. Her admission to CVTC was a key milestone in her recovery from earlier academic setbacks.

Her efforts resulted in academic success, and she passed her NCLEX exam before graduation, officially certifying her as a registered nurse. Somsen's achievements demonstrate the importance of perseverance and the ability to move beyond past failures.
