Hello,

I will enjoy being your 1^st vice president.  My main goal in my role is to be here for the students.  Remember we are your association.

My name is Rashonbah Rogers, I am graduating in Fall of 2009.  I am the mother of 6.  Two girls ages 20 and 3, and 4 boys ages 17, 15, 10, and 2.  I have always wanted to become a nurse.  I have now decided in my older age to pursue my life long dream. I love and appreciate my husband and family for being very understanding and supportive in my accomplishment of this goal to become a RN.  My plans for the future include working in an ER setting and then moving to CCU.  My Long term Goal is to continue my education and become an anesthetist. 

My best wishes to you all in your endeavor of becoming a RN

Thanks for the opportunity to serve you on your board!

About Me:

My name is Mandy Millwood and I will be a 1^st semester senior in the Fall of 2008. I am so excited about be treasurer of SNA and can’t wait to gain many new experiences. After my completion of my BSN I hope to work with children in either ICU, oncology, or ER, who knows next month it might be different. Then pursue a Nurse Practitioner degree. 

I love spending time with Joseph and my family and when time permits I enjoy lazy days in my pajamas. I am very open and willing to go the extra mile so please feel free to come to me at anytime. We are all in this together and I am happy to help.

I can’t wait to meet and work along with you,

Mandy

Secretary

Grace Vega

Graduates: May 2009

Email Address: gvega@student.clayton.edu

Hi, I’m Graciela Vega (Spanish for Grace).  I’m honored to take on the position of secretary for the SNA and I sincerely intend to do my best to provide the SNA with my acquired knowledge and past experiences.  I wanted to be involved because I feel it is important for everyone to stay updated and know what is taking place; what is available and what changes affect us as nursing students.  As secretary, one of my responsibilities is to maintain a log of the meeting minutes.  I would like to make this information available for all SNA members since there will be times when students may not be able to attend a meeting.  I welcome everyone’s feedback and suggestions and I hope we will all work together to make SNA an organization where all nursing students can communicate and acquire important resources to assist them in becoming the best RNs. 

I am a mother of three and I have been involved in the healthcare industry for over 10 years (Nope; I’m not disclosing my age)!  All kidding aside, I enjoy being a part of the nursing profession because as nurses we have the opportunity to make a difference and to help others when they are at their most vulnerable times.  This is indeed a very rewarding profession; not only do we provide medical care but we are also given the opportunity to empower and educate our patients as we assist them in maintaining a quality of life.  I plan to continue my education and hopefully one day work as a nurse practitioner.  I am still considering going into education or acquiring special certification in the field of psychiatric nursing.  Either way there are no limits to what we can achieve as nurses.  Word of advice to all new students, “It will be hard and scary at times but be patient and persistent; the only time we really fail is when we stop trying”.  Feel free to communicate with me anytime and good luck on your journey as a CSU BSN.

About Me:

Kecia Berry

    Webmaster

    Graduates:  Fall, 2009

In high school, I loved Math and wanted to become an Accountant.  I received a BS in Accounting.  Once in the field of Accounting, I realized Accounting was not the career I wanted to do for the rest of my life because there was no customer contact.  I changed careers and started working in the medical field as a phlebotomist and loved taking care of the patients and conversing with the patients.  I knew then that was my calling.  I currently work at a children’s hospital and love what I am doing.  Working in the medical field inspired me to pursue a career in Nursing.  I started the Nursing Program at CSU in Spring 2008.  It is a very interesting and challenging adventure.  As my parents always told me, “anything worth having is worth working hard for.”  I have two kids and they too are going through the Nursing Program…with ME!

Barbara Davies

Alternate Position

My name is Barbara Davies, and I am your alternate for SNA.  I will graduate in the fall of 2009. I am still trying to decide what area of nursing I want to go into, but I am leaning toward pediatrics or cardiology. That may change as I go through the program.

I grew up in a small town in Northwest Ohio with only one traffic light. I am getting used to all of the traffic in the Atlanta area. I moved to Georgia in August to attend Clayton State University. I enjoyed my first winter without lots of snow and look forward to many more.  My fiancé, Noel, just moved to Mobile, Alabama for Physician Assistant School. I am enjoying eating the 100 dishes to eat in Alabama before you die.  So far I have got about 8 crossed off my list. I look forward to working with all of you.
