Why did you choose nursing? Nursing has great flexibility and I like the ability to work in a variety of settings that incorporate research and patient-facing aspects.
How has your experience at the School of Nursing helped you with your career trajectory? I have done the ABSN and part of the DNP at UW and the faculty support and access to research institutes such as the Barnard Center have been such a gift.
What are your plans after graduation? I hope to continue to work in research and pursue a per diem level one nursery position.
