"Moving to a different country was difficult but we embraced the challenge with courage because we know what we want. Having a cultural shift made our dream seem more difficult if not impossible but we channeled it to becoming more resilient towards our goal. As we start this new journey, we will forever cherish the memories and the hard work it took to get here. Taking care of people has always been our passion and we decided to embark on this journey together and cheer each other on because it is not going to be easy. We chose Rutgers because of its inclusion in diversity and the family-like structure of the faculty further strengthened our decision and encouraged us to tell siblings to join us in this school. It was indeed a pleasure to have been part of the Rutgers family and as we step into this new chapter of our life filled with endless possibilities, we will forever be grateful to the faculty for helping us achieve our dreams.”

“Surprisingly, nursing was not a calling until I experienced direct patient care. To care for patients when they are at times in their most vulnerable state, and to be able to provide care to the best of my ability is truly a blessing. Nursing is far from easy, but leaving a lasting impression of how you made your patients feel is the most rewarding part.”
