This fall has been full of excitement and more and more new. This semester in particular, really started to feel like I was in nursing school. The courses were hard, and my time needed managing. In my Pathophysiology class, I learned the intricacies of more diseases than I ever knew existed. In my Health Assessment Lab, I was able to apply my knowledge in life-like situations. Whether taking a blood pressure on my classmates or a manakin, the practice excited me. I worked through these rigorous courses in order to begin my clinicals. This coming semester I will begin my first clinical, working in adult health. The communities I have formed at Boston College are all due to shared goals. I have fostered a great bond with my nursing community, as well as friends I have made along the way. This semester, I also became a wellness coach in BCs Center for Student Wellness, where I meet one on one with students to help improve their mental health and wellness. I love the environments my many communities bring. It has been amazing living in Chestnut Hill, right outside of Boston. I have enjoyed exploring Downtown Boston, where I go often on weekends with friends and on weekdays, while I babysit a little girl. Exploring a city known to be the best in healthcare has made me eager for my future. A trip to the city is a great way to stay busy, however, I love coming back to a beautiful college campus to live. My past semesters at BC have only strengthened my love for the school, the people, and most of all, my career path as a nurse. I feel extremely grateful for the newness and excitement that every day brings. I am so thankful for MVYouth's generosity and the inspiration they give me to give back to a community I care for.
