We asked Viking Danissa Arias DeJesus '24, who comes to 缅北禁地 from Nahant, about her experience in the 缅北禁地 School of Nursing



What are you studying at 缅北禁地?

鈥淚 am majoring in nursing with a minor in biology.鈥

 

Why did you decide to study nursing at 缅北禁地?

鈥淚 have always wanted to go into nursing since I was little and I knew 缅北禁地 had great opportunities and a great nursing program.鈥



What has been your favorite nursing course at 缅北禁地 so far? Who taught it?

鈥淢y favorite class so far has been NUR110 by Professor Amy Wachsmuth. She is really great and I really enjoyed her teaching methods. This class has educated me on some really interesting topics.鈥

 

What kind of nursing career do you plan to pursue? Is there a nursing specialty you are interested in?

鈥淚 plan on becoming a nurse practitioner either in pediatrics or OBGYN, and possibly before that become a traveling nurse.鈥

 

Describe your experience in 缅北禁地's School of Nursing. In what ways have your courses prepared you to be a nurse?

鈥淚 haven鈥檛 had many classes for nursing yet but the ones I have had really showed that nursing isn鈥檛 as hard as some people make it out to be. You just have to be really focused and motivated to do your work and have a desire and need to learn.鈥

 

What have you liked most about studying nursing at 缅北禁地?

鈥淚 have liked the wide variety of different classes I can take while still completing the required classes. All of the classes have been very interesting.鈥

 

What has it been like to study and/or work in the nursing field during the COVID-19 pandemic? What challenges have you had to overcome?

鈥淚n my first year, most things were all online and it was hard to meet people and get used to distance learning. But now that things are more in person, it鈥檚 been really great to have been able to meet people, especially the people I will be taking more nursing classes with and graduating with.鈥

 

What do you love most about nursing in general?

鈥淚 love helping others. I have always been a nurturing 鈥榩eople person,鈥 and I feel like nursing is just a part of who I am. It鈥檚 also great that you can do so, so much with nursing, and there will always be a variety of things to do. Nursing is also an always-changing profession, so you鈥檒l always be up-to-date and educated about people and the world.鈥

 

What advice would you give to future nursing students?

鈥淗ave an open mind and prepare yourselves for the workload. As long as you keep organized and don鈥檛 let yourself get behind on your work, it won鈥檛 be so bad and scary. Also, another bonus is that there will always be a need for nurses and there will never be enough. All the work you are doing now will all be worth it, and it鈥檒l be extremely fun!鈥
