Alvernia nursing student Ettieanna Britt 鈥20 credited her clinical experiences on a medical complexity unit, maternity unit, medical/surgical unit and in a long-term care facility with increasing both her skill-level and her confidence.
鈥淏eing able to apply what I鈥檝e learned in the classroom in a variety of clinical settings really boosted my confidence level," she said. "I鈥檓 excited to explore any opportunity offered.鈥
Britt's confidence and enthusiasm landed her a job, even before she graduated.
"After graduating, I went to work for the Reading Hospital on T3, which is a medical complexity unity," she said. "I actually had clinical on this floor right before the pandemic. I got the job before I even graduated! It was awesome because that was one less thing I had to worry about. I worked on T3 for a year and learned so much. I ended up winning 3 daisy awards while I was there."
Britt plans to return to school and pursue a Doctorate degree: "I never want to stop learning!"
