Currently pursuing…

As a current student at Old Dominion University, I am pursuing a major in nursing. The main reason I chose this major is because I wanted to pursue a career that will make a change in people’s lives. Another reason I chose this major is because I am an individual who likes to take a challenge head on and won’t be discouraged by hardships along the way. I am aware that the healthcare profession is not an easy field and that the key to success is having the confidence and determination to overcome the fact that there will be times where it gets tough. It seems intimidating but I feel like having to put in the work and effort  in order to make a difference in someones life, no matter how small, will make it all the more worth it in the long run.

Previous Experience in the Healthcare Field 

I have yet to gain any working experience in the healthcare field although I am very excited and willing to gain that sort of exposure in the field. However, during high school, I did attend Chesterfield Technical Center during my junior year where I was part of a Medical Assistant program and took a Medical Terminology class as well. Being a part of the program gave me hands-on experience in a number of different areas related to being a medical assistant and solidified my choice to pursue a career in the healthcare field.
