Today we’d like to introduce you to Alexis Lodge.
Alexis, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I am the owner of Live Savers Training Center. It is a post-secondary school specializing in healthcare training and education. We offer CPR, continuing education courses, NCLEX review courses for nurses, and introduction to healthcare including nursing assistant courses. I started as a nursing assistant back in 2003 and decided to go back to school for nursing. After working as a nurse for several years, I went on to be a travel nurse. When I took a travel nurse assignment in Las Vegas, I noticed there was a huge need for nursing assistants, and I decided to start school. In the meantime, I worked in California at various hospitals including Los Angeles. From there, I was able to save enough money to go back to Las Vegas to start a post-secondary school. Since the school was established in 2017, we have enrolled over 250 students and have a 90% passing rate. We have been able to make a huge difference in the lives of others in our community and surrounding states.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
There have been many challenges with starting a post-secondary school. The most challenging thing was to not give up. It was a very strenuous and tedious process, but it was all worth it in the end.
