“At Rasmussen University, they have a lot of resources to help out, so I reached out to some tutors online just to help me improve my writing and things like that. It was so helpful, and my grades reflected that as well.”

Tasia T.:
I was fresh out of high school, and I was working a 9 to 5 job. I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do. My great aunt had reached out to me and she was like, whatever you want to do, I'll help you out. Growing up with a big family, I think I've always kind of been a caregiver. So nursing was in the back of my mind.

Rasmussen University, they did a very, very good job of giving us the resources that we need. I reached out to some tutors online too, just to help me write papers. It was so helpful and my grades reflected that as well.

I wasn't really expecting to meet close friends like I did. We built a community pretty much right away.

Working in nursing homes and doing my clinicals, you get to know the family and the patient. You have to really get to know their personality, their likes, their dislikes, their nonverbal communication, you know, and just the sense of knowing what they want and don't want, I think builds a sense of trust. And I built a really good relationship, kind of in like a, a grandparent way, almost.

Dr. Carrie Daninhirsch:
Please rise as I officially present the graduating class of 2025.

Tasia T.:
With my LPN from Rasmussen University, I would love to go into pediatrics. I grew up with three little sisters, so I've always loved kids and just caring for them. After a 12 hour clinical, it's so nice coming home to a supportive family and one who I can actually spend time with and want to spend time with after such a long day.

My mom's my best friend, so I kind of go to her with anything that I have - any problems and issues, and she's always there to listen unconditionally.

Tasia's mom:
She's going to be the first college graduate in our family. I can't wait to see what she does because I know she's going to go far.

Tasia T.:
I tell my little sisters all the time, you know, that they have to try new things. And especially I say do it if you're scared, if you're scared to do it, do it anyway. It pushes yourself to go farther than you ever thought that you could. It pushed me to go farther than I ever thought I could.

I'm Tasia Thongratsamy and I am a Rasmussen University graduate.
