"My classmates come from all over,
and we all have had a
variety of life experiences. Some of us have been to college; some
haven’t. We are of different ethnic backgrounds, as well as of
different religions. Some of us are just out of high school; others
have had jobs and are coming back to school to change careers. It is
quite a United Nations in the School of Nursing. I have made great new
friends here at CNR. "

What is your favorite course?
My favorite
course so far is Pharmacology.
Do you have any favorite teachers?
My favorite teacher is Professor
Miccarelli. He is my
pharmacology teacher. He's great because his notes are very clear. He
speaks slowly so you're able to copy his notes. He has a great
sense
of humor, which is something I appreciate, especially early in the
morning. I look forward to his class.
