How did Southwest Tech prepare you for your current position? SWTC helped me in every way to become a nurse. We are so fortunate to have wonderful instructors to prepare you for the work environment.
Why did you choose your current field? I have a passion for helping and caring for people.
What advice would you have for younger students who are thinking about their future? Nursing is a great avenue to take in your career and you can do so much with it. There is so many different routes of nursing you can take. In my opinion it is one of the more rewarding jobs. If you do go into the nursing program I recommend applying for the Haiti experience for your final clinical rotation. It is a chance of a lifetime and truly life changing!
