My name is Claire Kuhn, and I am a sophomore nursing student at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I am a CNA certified through Lake Land Community College and have gained hands-on experience providing patient-centered care. I also hold a Basic Life Support certification through the American Heart Association. I balance my academic schedule while also supporting myself through school and remain active in my clubs and community. I am currently employed at Buffalo Wild Wings and Pizza Man of Pana, as I have been a server for 4 years. My career goal as a nurse is to positively impact others' lives, as I have also been impacted by nurses by being a bone marrow donor.
