Note

My main motivation has been my mom and will always be my mom. Her death caused by cancer taught me life isn't always going to be there and not everything was rosy and good. It also taught me that hospital life is cruel and overwhelming all at the same time. But I just want to be someone who helps people. Someone who makes a difference in a role not so many people think of. My mom will always be there for me and I believe with all my heart she would be proud and would want me to continue pursuing my dreams.

Nursing Experience

I did clinicals up at National Park College for a while. I know my way around hospitals and learn quickly and love it. I almost mastered everything I had to do except for Pharmacy which is something I will admit I struggled with. I did almost complete fundamentals of nursing and don't mind finishing that class in an accelerated class if needed but I know the important stuff and also have a huge book on it that I still utilize to this day.
