As part of the BSN Scholars Program at the University of Tennessee Knoxville, I completed clinical hours at UT Medical Center where I worked in the ICU, acute care, and specialty units. This hands-on experience helped me learn from skilled nurses and care for patients in different stages of illness and recovery. I gained confidence in my clinical skills, improved my critical thinking, and saw how hospital teams work together to provide quality care. I am committed to compassionate, patient-centered nursing and look forward to bringing that dedication to Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
