I've been directed to post on this website in regards to hopefully connecting with some future classmates:) I'm super excited to have been accepted into this program and I would love to hear from you!

Little about myself. I've been working towards being a nurse for the past 9 years. With moving quite a bit, it has been a challenge and a hassle to focus on a school and a program. I am currently living in Colorado and will be relocating to Philadelphia in May, after I complete Spring semester (final 2 outstanding courses). I have 9-years of diverse medical experience throughout the U.S and abroad. I am certfied as an EMT. I currently work at The Children's Hospital in Aurora in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit as a Clinical Assistant. I am 32-years old and my undergraduate is in art (Bachelor's of Fine Art). I studied photography. Got my first job in the medical field as a Video Technician in Surgery at River Oaks Hospital in Jackson, Mississippi. Fell in love with the medical field and have had various jobs ever since! I want to become an RN in order to further my medical knowledge, have more job opportunities and above all take care of people in their time of need. My dream job is to work with Doctor's Without Borders. I am incredibly interested in global health initiatives and working in developing countries.

Please be in contact if you will be a part of the FACT BSN program at Jefferson in 2011! Would love to meet some classmates. Also, trying to figure out housing... Would be great to connect with folks a head of time.
