About tknrosales

I am a RN who is currently attending California Baptist University's Nurse practitioner program. I am interested in emergency/ trauma nursing, but find it very difficult as a new grad to break into that field, so I am open to whatever the future holds for me. Nursing holds a special place in my heart, as a teenage I was in a traumatic burn accident and spent a few months in a ICU Burn unit trying to heal, it was the interactions with the nurse there, that called me to nursing.
