What inspired you to pursue your<br />
degree?<br />
There . are many moments and memories that<br />
I could describe that helped guide me to my<br />
Nursing degree, but overall my love and<br />
passionate personality for helping others is<br />
what nudged me into the right direction. At<br />
first, I was convinced that I wanted to have<br />
a career as a Music Therapist as it was a<br />
combination of the three things I enjoy the<br />
most, helping people, mental health, and<br />
music. After taking my general education<br />
courses, I found myself really enjoying<br />
Psychology and Anatomy and Physiology<br />
I/II. After taking these courses I found myself<br />
researching more about the health care field<br />
and how I can incorporate my interests in<br />
mental health to the health care field. That<br />
is when I stumbled upon the Psychiatric<br />
Mental Health Nurse Practitioner program at<br />
UNF and knew that is what I am destined to<br />
be, so the Nursing program was where I<br />
needed to be.<br />
What activities or hobbies do you enjoy<br />
doing outside of school?<br />
Outside of school I enjoy spending time with<br />
my loved ones, finding new places to eat, and<br />
playing music.<br />
What has been most challenging to you<br />
since beginning your program here at<br />
UNF?<br />
Since starting my program at UNF, the most<br />
challenging thing for me would be finding the<br />
balance between school, family and personal<br />
needs. Spending time with my family is very<br />
important to me, as is doing well in nursing<br />
school, which makes it hard to manage time for<br />
everything to be done. Learning prioritization<br />
was crucial for me to be able to get what<br />
needed to be done for school with the amount<br />
of coursework and content being covered while<br />
also having time to enjoy some quality time.<br />
