After graduation, I plan on continuing my NCLEX preparation and hopefully passing the NCLEX. Once I have completed my licensure exam, I look forward to working with ANMC on a Medsurg unit. I also plan on coming back to Â鶹MD´«Ã½ for the BSN program.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
I would really like to express my gratitude and appreciation to the nursing faculty and my classmates, because truly I do not think I could have made it this far without their support and encouragement throughout the nursing program. I would also like to thank the agencies who have made it possible for me to complete the nursing program without any financial worries. Â鶹MD´«Ã½ is a wonderful school, and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested.
