Student Spotlight! In honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month, we want to honor and spotlight 2nd year FNP student, Brenda Chicas!

Here are some words from Brenda:
I am a first gen NP student. I'm the first in my immediate and extended family to go to college and feel very blessed to be here. I am a proud Salvadoreña born and raised in LA, my family is from El Salvador 🇸🇻
For the Latinx community, we have so much to give and this is our opportunity to advocate and care for our communities that don't always get the care they need. Always keep going and remember what led you to this career, we have the power to help so many people!

Area of interest: FNP student, interest in primary care within underserved communities

What inspires me in this field: I've been lucky to rotate with some pretty awesome preceptors and work within the Latinx community. Seeing how caring and thorough they are with patients makes me happy and it keeps me pushing to be the best provider I can be.

Clinical pearl: Even if it seems scary and that you'll fail, just say yes and go for it (safely, of course) and you'll be happy you have one more feat under your belt!

One thing id tell my childhood self: Its okay to fail and not know the answers to everything, stay present and enjoy everyday as it comes.

Over the summer I got to camp at Crater Lake National Park in Oregon and it was nice to get out and be off the grid for a few days. We camped right in front of the lake and it was beautiful and so relaxing!

Meet our very own, Carly Hwang, 2nd year FNP student!

Area of interest: primary care - type 1 and type 2 diabetes
Inspirations: The community and generosity in this field - when there are gaps in care and/or medicine because of the way the U.S. healthcare system functions, patients with diabetes help each other by providing anything and everything - advice, extra supplies, medication, food. It is lovely to witness the compassion and resilience in the community and it inspires me to be an advocate to my future patients.

Clinical pearl: What doesn't kill you mutates and tries again

What would you tell your childhood self: I would tell my childhood self that trying and failing is way better than not trying at all (even if there is a 1 mile run requirement for the field hockey team ha!)

Recent fun? I recently visited the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee - an interesting historical music venue that still hosts a radio variety show - it was fun to watch up and coming talented country musicians and try to win a 3 months' supply of ham!
