BIOSKETCH
I am a recent graduate of the University of New Hampshire. I graduated with a Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing . I grew up in Rindge, NH and lived there all my life until I moved away to school. I am interested in Anesthesia, and would like to work on a Post Anesthesia Care Unit. Eventually I would like to move to Colorado and work as a professional nurse.
Why I Chose Nursing
I knew what I wanted to do with my life my sophomore year in high school. I was in Boston at Brigham and Womens Hospital visiting my aunt who had just had her first baby and I just remember standing there watching the nurses. They were bustling about, doing what they had to do in the nursery and the various rooms but, they had this way about them that I have never seen in another profession. They were cheerful and comforting and they weren't just pretending to care, they were actively listening to their patients and really caring about them. They dealt with patients on a person to person level and didn't talk down to them. They were friendly, helpful and accommodating and didn't seem stressed with all of the activity and people coming and going. Those nurses on that unit were in charge, there was no doubt about it. They knew what they were doing and they were in control of everything going on. It struck me then that that was what I wanted to do with my life. I had always been interested in the medical field but, I never knew which direction I wanted to go with it. Now, I knew. I wanted to be a nurse. I wanted to have that close patient interaction and the medical knowledge to go along with it and nursing was that for me. I will never forget those nurses as they opened my eyes to a profession that I have grown to love.

Philosophy of Nursing
Nursing is a combination of art and science. Having a solid mastery of clinical and medical skills is highly important. That combined with compassion and dedication for your patients creates something that can make a difference in the overall care of individuals and communities. A nurse should strive to master both the art and science of nursing and should apply them in every situation.
