Do you have any special training or certifications that you feel will benefit you as a nursing student?

"In high school, I volunteered for the American Red Cross during my senior year. Through that organization, I obtained my CPR certificate and learned how to use the defibrillator. I think both of these gave me knowledge and skills that would benefit me in the nursing program."

"I have worked part-time as a receptionist at my local nursing home for the past year. While I didn't earn any special certifications in that role, I learned a lot about healthcare, medical terminology, and the roles that CNAs and nurses play in that setting. I think being exposed to healthcare in this way gave me skills and knowledge to help me be successful in this program."
