Senior Track 1
Kyla is such a great classmate and student. She is one of the smartest people I know. Every time I see her in clinical, she is always willing to learn and engage everyone in her presence. I believe that Kyla will be a great nurse because she is enthusiastic, adaptable, and down-to-earth! |
Senior Track 2
Caitlyn deserves to be spotlighted because she is one of the most hardworking people I know. Her drive to be the best is refreshing and I can always look to her for help. She always facilitates fun group sessions for studying and getting to know each other outside of the classroom. |
Why Nursing? Wednesday

"I found a calling to nursing after my first patient interactions, at my first hospital working as a Corpsman. I enjoyed the unknown of what I was going to experience each day, and realized early on that I was comfortable with being part of the treatment and healing process for my patients. I knew I wanted to be a nurse when I saw how we advocate for our patients during some of their most trying of times. For me having that intimate connection with another human, by them trusting us so much really resonated with me. We as nurses get to see people at some of their worst times, and are privileged with being part of the process of providing remedy. Nursing is career that allows an individual to make a lasting impact on their community in such a meaningful way that only nursing can do!!!"

"I choose nursing because no other field is as close to the beauties & shadows of life. "A mark of a society is not how well it displays its ingenuities rather how it addresses its shadows." I would like to be a part of creating the light- being someone’s advocate, warrior, cheerleader. Nursing is a lifestyle because it calls you to reflect on your own biases, question your ways of approach, and adopts you to create a mindset of a lifelong learner. As much as it is a selfless job, it pushes you to build the same kind of empathy, love, and care for yourself – essentially, it is a field so enveloped in making you a better human being. To face the perils of loss & suffering all the while makes you more susceptible to be mindful of all the beauty and joys life has to offer when you are with strangers during their most vulnerable moments. I am here because I had already explored paths such as engineering and arts, but no such careers combine my passion for the concrete sciences with the abstracts of humanity. Learning the practical without the human application is without substance. I love poetry and words, but no amount of flowery language is as valuable as hearing the words, “I am here for you.” Learning in nursing is never complete, but it’s in pursuit for its own sake and the brilliance of facing the predicaments of the human condition with others. Nursing unraveled me, made making connections the driving force of my being, and helped me face uncertainty with zeal for life. To live deliberately – this is why nursing."

"I chose nursing because it combines all my passions into a stable and fulfilling career. I am passionate about all things human anatomy/physiology and spending my life in service of others. Nursing has just that: the need for critical thinking skills and a desire to care for those in need. For me, it is a career that perfectly combines science and conceptual knowledge with charitable service and fulfilling work!"
