My Major

I am currently a nursing major attending Old Dominion University. I’ve had an interest in the healthcare field, but only recently decided on the nursing path. I was lucky enough that I had family and friends who allowed me shadow them. I shadowed a family medicine doctor, an ICU nurse, and a labor an delivery nurse. While all of these were amazing experiences, my favorite was shadowing an emergency room nurse. Watching her work and support families in their most dire times, sparked something in me. That was when I knew I wanted to be a nurse who supported families and patients in their most dire times. So my overall goal is to become a nurse practitioner in the ER of a trauma one hospital.
