The Stephenson triplets, Jean, Jeanet, and Jeanice, recently graduated from South University in Montgomery, Alabama, together with nursing degrees, and they went on to make history. The 23-year-old sisters claim that their mother, a nurse, gave them the idea to continue their family’s custom.
The three siblings grew up with a strong relationship that carried over into their academic endeavors. They claimed that having triplets had advantages, particularly for academic pursuits.
“If one person doesn’t know something, you can go to the other, and maybe they’ll explain it a little better,” Jeanice told WSFA.
“We motivate each other, help each other, make sure everyone is passing and learning at the same pace,” said Jean.
The triplets cherish the unique connection they share, tracing back to the day they were born.
“We’ve always shared everything: cars, clothes, rooms, bathrooms,” Jean added. “We were always very close because we shared everything.”
The trio also have fun with their identical looks which sometimes lead to amusing mix-ups. Teachers and students alike find it challenging to tell them apart.
“Sometimes we do play tricks on people,” said Jeanet. “We do get confused a lot.”
Furthermore, the three sisters intended to take separate career routes in nursing after receiving their nursing degrees. Jeanice wants to work in the ER, Jeanet wants to work in the ICU, and Jean is interested in pediatrics or the NICU. Nevertheless, they both hope to work in the same hospital in the future.
