Areas of Interest: Currently, the area of nursing I am interested in is working with adult and older adult patients, especially in med-surg. I’m still exploring different specialties, but I enjoy areas where I can build strong clinical experience and patient relationships:)
Favorite Study Method: Using practice questions and application-based learning. I like Quizlet-style repetition, NCLEX questions, and case studies because they help me apply concepts and improve my critical thinking instead of just memorizing information!
