27 Juntos Podemos not only provided assistance through nursing school, it also provided opportunities to meet different students and help people succeed. Being part of JP was like being a part of a little family at school. We all helped each other and shared our knowledge. She is a trauma and critical care nurse. MONICA MARIE MIRELEZ

28 I joined Juntos Podemos during nursing school for support and guidance. I gained a lot from both attending and guiding content reviews. Leading content reviews helped me stay on top of previously learned material and definitely better prepared me for the NCLEX. Becoming a certified nurse midwife. SAMANTHA HOLDER
