Senior Spotlight, May 29
On May 9th I graduated from The Pennsylvania State University, as I successfully completed my Bachelors of Science in Nursing. Throughout four incredible years at Penn State, I acquired three years of patient care, totaling to over 700 hours of clinical experience. I was a member of both the Student Nurses’ Association at Penn State (SNAP) and the Kappa Delta Sorority. Both organizations participated to raise millions of dollars at Penn State’s THON. As a junior, I was a Teaching Assistant for the Fundamentals of Nursing sophomore class. Last summer, I was offered the opportunity to participate in the Nurse Externship Program at Morristown Medical Center on the Cardiac Access/Observational Unit where I cared for patients with cardiac illnesses. Senior year, I resided at The Penn State Hershey Medical Center, in which I had the privilege of gaining experience in multiple intensive care units. I completed my Senior Capstone at this facility on the Heart and Vascular Critical Care Unit. Beginning in August, I have the honor to start working at the prestigious organization of Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland on the Surgical Intensive Care Unit as a Registered Nurse. In the future, I plan to attend graduate school and become a Cardiac Nurse Practitioner.
"To me, being a nurse means having an innate ability and passion for helping and saving the lives of others. It is a selfless profession that fosters trust, kindness and compassion that leaves lasting impressions on others."
