The School of Public Health truly cares about your future and will help guide you through it, even when life is tough.
I can remember when my aunt was diagnosed with cancer, this one particular nurse really inspired me. The compassionate care that she provided made a difference in how our family was dealing with all the emotions. She was not a task-oriented nurse, she ensured my aunt’s basic needs were met and that the family was doing okay. I think that is what inspired me to pursue a career in nursing.
I’ve always wanted to expand what I have to offer a patient. As an EMT, I wasn’t certified to place an IV. I could do life-saving interventions, but I was limited in the skills I had to offer. With my BSN, I expanded my skillset, and I expanded it again as a flight nurse. Everything has led me to see how I can grow with advanced practice.
I have always wanted to have a career where I could help people and make a difference in my community. I feel like nursing has always been the best way to connect with people while making a difference.
