High School Anatomy & physiology Honors
I liked science, so i joined A&P honors in 10th grade. Super interesting. i got a taste of what the human body is and how it works. YES! Keep it coming. -
Young volunteer
Started volunteering at my local clinic, Neighborhood Healthcare. I worked in the medical records department. It was paid volunteered worked. I did it after school; it was basically a job! I know the lady there appreciated the work I helped her with because SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE DOING IT. It gave me familiarity with the medical jargon. -

1st CNA Job
Las Villas Del Norte was my first CNA job. From 2013-2017. It was a 30 bed SNF? Not bad, but still understaffed. I definitely earned my stripes there. I was in the trenches but it definitely gave me experience dealing with patients. -
CNA course
Through my senior year in high school, I took an after school program, Healthcare Fundamentals, which offered us the opportunity do take the CNA course for FREE, after graduation. It was 3 months long. HERE WE GOOOOO! -
Bite the bullet
My sister had questionable friends. One afternoon, one of them shot the other friend in the leg, accidental? Not sure. but I was the only one rendering aid and it really solidified my want to pursue nursing. Being thrown into someone else's traumatic event was intense, but it felt great to be able to help. What a rush! I HAD TO TAKE A PIC OF THE SCENE. -
Helping tiny humans
Started my first hospital job at Rady Children's Hospital as a Patient Care Assistant in the NICU. Besides the desk work, which I was no fan of, I liked being able to help with the babies and learn form the nurses. A lot of sad cases but grateful for the time i was there. -
Prereqs & AA completion !
Took me a long time because I did classes 1-2 at a time. I was the first one in my family to attend college, so I was navigating it alone. Eventually, I started doing more classes at a time and finally finished! -
Off to another hospital!
I had classes in the morning and night shift at Rady's was too hard on my sleep. I couldn't hang! I ended up getting a day shift position at Palomar Hospital in the Float pool department. I like it! Getting to see the different units and getting to know so many people throughout the years. -
COVID Shenanigans
The first pandemic in my lifetime. Got to see so how it effected so many and was able to learn so much at the same time. -
The start of nursing School
AFTER YEARS of applying, it finally happened & not just for me! Many of my friends from work are in the same cohort. Makes the journey less lonely. We can have a circle of sorrow if needed 😆 -
You can call her an RN
If i survive this mental anguish I will graduate nursing school!! & after passing the NCLEX, I will be able to add those 2 letters by my name. -

I honestly do not know what I'd want to do but no Ortho, Med/Surge or psych.😬 We shall seeeeee! -

I don't know what this universe has in the works for me, but I just want a simple life. Life has been too chaotic and I would like peace and a chance to travel!
