Ariyon's Story

My passion is nursing.

I discovered my passion for nursing around the time my mom developed blood clots in her legs. She was hospitalized for a week and was given a home nurse to check on her every day for weeks. In that time, I spend a lot of moments interacting with the nurses and watching the way they cared for my mom. Watching them really taught me that nurses don't just give patients shots or pain killers, they take their time to get to know their patient and learn who they really are. I found that so amazing because I love helping people and would love to help someone through a difficult time in the future.

A Note from Ms. Santos-Dempsey, Ariyon's Mentor

Ariyon is a qualified candidate for NSLC Nursing because she embodies the four core values of nursing as defined by the National League for Nursing: caring, integrity, diversity, and excellence. Ariyon will benefit from this program by receiving the opportunity for hands on learning, mentoring from professionals in the field, and exposure to a greater depth of information about the field.

My Experience

I want to start off by saying that I am incredibly thankful and grateful for given this opportunity to attend this program. I had such an amazing time and met so many great people. I not only learned so much more about nursing, but I learned a lot about myself. I was able to make connections with people from all over the world that are heading in a similar career path. I was also able to learn more about what I can accomplish with my degree in nursing and how far I can go with it. It was such an amazing experience and I enjoyed every moment of it. From the CPR certification class to the birthing simulations to actually starting a "patient's" heart back up during a mock code. All the skills I learned over these last nine days will be remembered and used often in my career as a nurse one day. Just over these nine days my passion for nursing has really increased a lot more.

Thank you all again for donating and helping me get there. I really loved all the support I received and want to let you all know that is was greatly appreciated.

NSLC Nursing

I am extremely grateful to be given this opportunity to attend the NSLC Nursing program this summer. I chose this program to give me an head start and glance of what it is like being a nurse. I plan to gain knowledge and develop skills that will be needed in my future. I am very excited to see the stimulation labs and receive the hands on experience. I also can't wait to meet with the faculty of Yale School of Nursing and peers who are interested in nursing as much as me.
