Alumni Spotlight: Jakobe Bush, '24

Jakobe Bush is among the first cohort to graduate from Aiken Technical College’s LPN to RN transition evening program on April 30, 2024.

The program, which began in the summer of 2023, provides licensed practical nurses an opportunity to work toward their Associate in Applied Science: Nursing degree while still maintaining employment in the nursing field.

Bush, who had previously earned his Diploma in Applied Science: Nursing from Aiken Tech, decided to return to take the next step toward his career goals.
