About Me~
Hi, I am a student at the University of South Alabama. I recently changes my major from Elementary Special Education to Nursing. I am sure I would have been a good teacher, but I have spent the last 20 years being a paramedic. Medicine will always be where my heart belongs. I have already takes a few classes for educators, and I am glad that I have. I do enjoy working with the pediatric population and these classes have given me incite to many aspects that I may not have considered prior to the this exposure.
Why A Nurse?
Hurricane Katrina changed my life in many ways, but the one thing it took was my ability to be a medic. I got hurt in the line of duty and can not move people the way I once did. To me the next best thing is nursing. I will miss being out on the street rolling in the mud and muck, getting dirty but I will have the chance to make a difference in someones life. The funny part is most people do not remember your name or even that you were there, but what matters most to me is the idea that they may walk out of the hospital, and hug their children another day. I may have to do this with in 4 walls, but I can hope to end up on a chopper or a plane!
