Abundant Life Nursing School
Abundant Life Nursing School (ALNS), founded in 2020 by Patricia Allen, president, prides itself on quality education with a focus on affordability and personalized attention. The school nurtures the next generation of nurses, ensuring they possess both the skills and heart to serve their communities effectively.
“Our mission is not just to educate but to empower students to become compassionate caregivers,” says Patricia, a nurse for over 16 years.
Operating under the leadership of Campus Operations Manager Treva Williams and Financial Liaison Jessica Watkins, the school offers a smaller, intimate setting with class sizes ranging from 12 to 18 students. This facilitates better study groups and individualized attention, ensuring every student receives the support they need to succeed.
“We emphasize patient advocacy and community service,” says Treva. “Our students actively engage in clinicals at various healthcare facilities, providing invaluable support and gaining practical experience.”
With a commitment to student success, ALNS—a not-for-profit—is in the process of establishing a student support center, offering resources for job placement, interview skills and professional development.
“Our goal is to see our students thrive,” Jessica says. “We’ve structured our tuition model to minimize financial burden, ensuring our graduates step into their careers debt-free.”
