Student Nurse
By Ani Burr
My name is Ani Burr. I'm 23 years old and have survived my first year and a half of nursing school at CSU Los Angeles. I started college as a creative writing major, and then moved on to major in graphic design when a job at a dialysis unit changed everything for me. After seeing what it really meant to be a nurse, I changed my major one final time. It has been a crazy journey, but I'm loving every minute of it, and hoping to go into pediatric nursing after graduation in 2011. In between studying and projects, you can find me working with my church's outreach programs, spending time with my family and my fabulous fiancée, and enjoying life! more
