Shelby

"I decided to join Rivet School because being out of school for so long I wanted guidance to ensure success. One of the many benefits of this program is the constant multi-faceted support resources offered to fit me personally."

Teresa Epps

“I graduated from high school in 1981 and afterwards attended UNO but couldn’t finish my degree. It was hard to manage the in-class schedule with the other responsibilities I had at the time. One big difference with Rivet School is that I can plan to do my schoolwork when is best works for me. As a full-time working mom and a full-time student, the Healthcare Pathway program offers me an opportunity to earn an affordable degree, keep a full-time job, and take care of my family.”

Juana

"My long-term goal is to become a director within Ochsner LSU. My son is my main motivator. I want to give him and my husband a better future. Never give up on your dreams. You can finish your degree and make your dream a reality."
