Bio

My goal is to become a Certified Nurse Midwife, but before hitting that milestone I want to have experience being a NICU nurse, and working with pediatric cancer patients. I currently hold my Certified Clinical Medical Assistant diploma. I currently work in pediatric primary care, pediatric gastroenterology, pediatric surgery, pediatric cardiovascular with some experience in convenient care. I am currently enrolled in the ADN program at Rasmussen University my graduation date is 06/18/23. I am also the President of our Student Nurse Association (RSNA) which follows the NSNA. I have a passion for helping people, and making sure they know never to give up on anything they want to do in life, becoming a nurse is my way of giving back to my community. As a first generation student, I struggle to pay for college, but I will not let that stop me from finishing school. My motto is “Being able to provide empathy and great patient care is not something you can be taught it is something you have to have within yourself.”

    Deborah Stevens Pediatric Nursing Scholarship
    I am choosing a career in nursing because I have a passion gor helping people, and teaching people and those are some of the roles a nurse do. I want to pursue pediatric nursing because I am currently a medical assistant and have been working pediatrics so i received my certification. I love the feeling of my pediatric patients giving me hugs, opening up and talking to me about things their parents do not know. Helping children in every way possible is my goal, making sure every child I see is in no harm or danger.
    Theresa Lord Future Leader Scholarship
    My educational goal is to become a Certified Nurse Midwife, but before hitting that milestone I want to have experience in being a NICU nurse, anesthesiologist, and working with pediatric cancer patients. I just graduated with my diploma in Certified Clinical Medical Assistant in February 2020 and have been working in pediatric internal medicine since. I am currently enrolled in the RN program at Rasmussen University my graduation date is 03/18/23. I have faced alot of obstacles in my life but the most difficult one was having my last two children 11 months apart. It has not always been easy but it has gotten so much better. I learned to just focus and not to do so much at one time. Also I learned to give time for me time without any children or distractions for my own mental health sake.
    Noah Jon Markstrom Student Debt Paydown Grant
    My career in pediatric medicine has been great. I started my pediatric experience doing my clinical for medical assistant in 2020 and from there when I applied for a job after clinical I went straight into pediatrics, I love the feeling of my children patients coming up to me giving me hugs, giving me stickers, bringing me drawings that they made for me. I am currently enrolled in the RN program, I want to be a NICU nurse when I start out but transition into being a RN for pediatric patients that suffer from cancer.
