As I continued to attend university full time and work part time as a phlebotomist at IU Health, I also attended St. Francis Emergency Medical Technician Program. I decided to take this step to expand and deepen my knowledge of the emergency side of medicine, which ultimately helped me clarify my career goals. Through the program, I had the opportunity to complete shifts at fire stations throughout Indianapolis and interfacility transports, where I gained hands on exposure to patient care in high pressure environments. These experiences inspired me to continue within EMS and pursue a path as a flight medic with the long-term goal of earning an additional degree in nursing as a flight nurse. This program has not only given me practical skills and confidence in emergency care but a clear sense of direction as I plan to take the National Registry exam during the fall semester of my senior year.
