I am a Navy veteran pursuing my bachelor of science in nursing. After achieving my bachelor's degree I hope to attend NP school. My ultimate goal is to be a psychiatric nurse that works with veterans and sexual assault victims with PTSD. I have watched several of my friends struggle with PTSD and I have lost one friend who could not battle his depression any longer. I hope to one day make a difference with those who have PTSD and spread awareness to those who do not understand it.
