Brief Profile:
I have very little extracurricular accomplishments and am relying heavily on nine years of nursing experience in both the ICU and ER settings. I was not initially considering medicine as a potential career so I did not do very well in college ten years ago (GPA 3.19). After deciding to go back to school I applied myself on only core science prerequisites and managed a 3.86 GPA on my BCPM classes. During this time I was still working substantially so I have no volunteer or research experiences. I am hoping my nursing experience will count for something.
