PN Guest Speaker Jazmine Richardson

Chipola College’s Practical Nursing (PN) Cohort 1225 recently welcomed a special guest speaker: Jazmine Richardson, a standout graduate of Cohort 1224. Jazmine, who was recognized with the faculty-nominated Leadership Award, returned to campus to share her experiences working on the front lines of mental health care.

As the only Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) currently employed in the Behavioral Health Unit at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital (TMH), Jazmine spoke candidly about the challenges and rewards of working with both adolescent and adult patients with mental health disorders. Her perspective offered invaluable real-world insight to current students preparing for the profession.

Demonstrating both skill and leadership, Jazmine was promoted within just three months of joining TMH — a testament to her dedication and professionalism. She continues to represent the nursing field and Chipola College with excellence in the surrounding community.
