"If you are thinking of living the NurseLife it is truly found within these doors."
"I would like to thank all of my Jersey College, School of Nursing family for being there day in and day out of my journey to become a nurse. I was enrolled at another local college but due to certain circumstances I was forced to leave and start fresh where I found my niche at Jersey College. From the moment I walked through those big glass doors for the first time, I felt it was my home away from home – it was right for me.
Along my path, the instructors I had helped to bring forth my "inner nurse". If ever there was a time where the pressure was so high that I felt the battle uphill was too much, there was always an open door and a listening ear with words of wisdom and encouragement to help me get back on track. From the days of first quarter to the day of my last exam, they were there, telling you to believe! To quote one of my most influential people I had the pleasure of entering into my life, Ms. K. Stafford., " You had the drive to come this far, you aren't going to stop now!" I was on the verge of throwing in the towel a couple of times throughout my time at Jersey College, and it must have been written on my face or an invisible sign that only my Program Chair or instructors could see. On those days, they helped me get back in the game.
The pace of study is quick, and it comes at you sometimes like a whirlwind. The curriculum is excellent, and the instructors are phenomenal! If you are thinking of living the NurseLife it is truly found within these doors.
See you soon for the “Bridge”, Jersey :-) love you all!! Special thanks to: Ms. K. Stafford, for keeping her methods of madness and a firm glance when she knew I needed it. To Ms. J. Bertrand for her ever astonishing guidance and infinite wisdom. Ms. S. Johnson for her ever so strict use of punctuality, Mr. K. Peterson for countless real life stories and compassion for all people, Ms. L. Rankin for her profound use of the phrase "look it up" but always making sure we did "look it up" and then awesome explanations on WHY....and Mr. C. Davis, for make sure that our pyramid of learning was topped off with his amazing style and awesome delivery. This was an amazing learning experience. I would recommend Jersey College to anyone interested in becoming a nurse or furthering their career."
Much love Jersey!
