Student Spotlight
Theresa Tonade
Nigeria
Though she was nervous about starting clinicals, the reassurance Theresa received from her instructor gave her the courage to succeed. One memorable moment was taking care of a young woman who suffered from seizures. “I put myself in her position and took care of her like I would have taken care of myself,” she says. “You can’t go wrong with a patient if you believe in what you’re doing.”
