Current Occupation:

I love my job in healthcare because:
Attending commencement is my favorite aspect of my job. Watching the seniors’ faces as they walk across the stage is a wonderful experience. I know how hard they have worked to get to that moment.

My advice for students interested in healthcare is:
I believe nursing is a calling that requires individuals who are intelligent, trustworthy, and compassionate. If you like working with people and truly care for other human beings nursing will be a satisfying profession. 

What I enjoyed most about being a student at BHSLR:
The clinical experiences I had were outstanding. The experiences I had helped to build my confidence level and prepare me for functioning as a new nurse in the real world.
