Other Activities Involved In: Community Health Involvement Project What advice would Gina give to a prospective student? Gina's advice to a prospective student would be to put yourself out there and to never give up despite what others may say. Throughout Gina's undergraduate years many people questioned her career choice in becoming a nurse practitioner and instead told her to pursue becoming a physician instead. However, Gina stood true to what she always wanted to become and that was to be the first-line of patient advocacy and a bedside-care health care profession. With a greater than ever passion to become a registered nurse and a nurse practitioner, Gina cannot be more proud of the moments she turned down other's opinion to focus on her dreams and her aspirations. Gina advises each and every student to find what makes them truly happy and to never sway. When there may be bumps on the road, Gina encourages you to stay steadfast and remind yourself why you started in the first place. In Gina's opinion, what has been the most rewarding part of being a Keck student? Gina thinks that the most rewarding part of being a Keck student is because of the amount of connections provided by faculties. The professors of Keck are always willing to help and be of resource to the students and that makes a huge difference in your education experience! |
