Over the past semester, I have been getting very excited about finishing my senior year and college career. I have just realized how fast time flies when you're having fun. Looking back on my four years, I have seen just how lucky I am to have spent my four years at such a fantastic school. I was so fortunate to be able to have followed my love for science into a degree in nursing while also being able to continue my passion for athletics and playing both field hockey and ice hockey.

This semester I had two amazingly educational classes. I took community health and family health where I learned to care for pediatric patients, pregnant women, and members of the community outside of the hospital setting. These classes helped me expand my knowledge and I have become more eager to pass my boards and get to apply this knowledge to the real world. My best experience this semester was my clinical rotation. My clinical rotation was at UMass Memorial Hospital. During this clinical experience, I shadowed a nurse and cared for patients. While working alongside these nurses, I got to take notes on how they helped their patients and began developing my clinical skills. This clinical helped me gain confidence in the clinical skills that I will be using within the next year. I will forever be thankful to MVYouth for giving me the opportunity to go to such an amazing school. The past four years have given me such great experiences, both in the classroom and out that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
