What plans and goals do you<br />
have after graduation?<br />
My goal after graduation is finding a hospital<br />
that shares my values and promotes a healthy<br />
work environment for health care workers in<br />
which I can be a part of. After receiving my<br />
BSN, I plan to further my education by getting<br />
my MSN degree in Nursing Leadership and<br />
Administration, in which I will be able to<br />
pursue my goal of becoming a Psychiatric<br />
Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.<br />
What advice would you give to incoming<br />
students entering the UNF?<br />
Advice that I would give to incoming students<br />
although as cliché as it is, is participating on<br />
campus, whether that be utilizing what the<br />
campus has to offer like the library, the green,<br />
student union, the gym or finding out what<br />
clubs or organizations that you can devote<br />
some time to and meet new people that you<br />
wouldn’t in your regular classes or bringing<br />
friends to experience with you. Trying<br />
something new at school cannot only provide a<br />
way to spend free time but it can also give you<br />
something to look forward to and be<br />
passionate about. Another important thing<br />
would be to put yourself first, know your<br />
responsibilities but also know your limit. Stress<br />
and mental health are important to address<br />
early on, so establish routines that are suited<br />
for you to be both successful and happy.<br />
Do you have a favorite inspiring quote<br />
or mantra that you live by and would<br />
like to share with others?<br />
A family mantra made by my dad that I live by<br />
is “Follow Through” as it applies to anything<br />
and everything in life. If you set your mind to<br />
something “follow through” with what you<br />
want/need, if you start something make sure<br />
you “follow through” so it is completed, if you<br />
tell someone something you need to “follow<br />
through” with what you told them, etc.<br />
An inspiring quote that I got out of a fortune<br />
cookie that has stuck with me is “if you<br />
continually give, you will continually have.”<br />
What has been your favorite class in the<br />
nursing program?<br />
22<br />
My favorite class thus far has been Psychiatric<br />
Mental Health Nursing Concepts as this is the<br />
field I plan on specializing in. I thoroughly<br />
enjoyed learning about mental health and<br />
what role, as a nurse, I can be for people with<br />
mental health issues and promoting their<br />
safety and health with the skills i’ve learned<br />
throughout the course.
