Sharon Chen Nursing Scholar, Class of 2022 Hi everyone! I was born in Connecticut, but basically moved and grew up in Brooklyn most of my life. No one in my family is in the medical field, but I always had a heart to pursue nursing as a career ever since my high school years. Growing up, I realized that I loved to help people and take care of them. I have volunteered in hospitals and clinics, and I loved my experiences during those times. I knew medical school was not for me, so nursing it was! I was always so inspired by the nurses I've encountered and know in my life, and I wanted to be that person for other people as well. The art of nursing was what really attracted me to the whole career, and I'm so excited to be a part of it. The Nursing Scholars program has helped me tremendously. It has given me a community, even before entering the nursing program, whom I am able to know and rely on. The scholars program has also relieved me of so much stress and aided my process not only with getting into nursing school, but also during my years here at Hunter-Bellevue School of Nursing. We are connected with an amazing advisor, and with each seminar/experience we get as a scholar, I am able to apply it personally in my own life. In addition, the scholarships we were awarded for being a scholar also helped me in so many ways to make nursing school affordable! I am so thankful to say that I got to be a part of such an amazing program. Through every experience I've had by being a scholar, it has shaped me into becoming a more confident person today!

Moatasim Butt Nursing Scholar, Class of 2022 Growing up, I always knew that I wanted to work in healthcare. I aspired to help others receive restorative treatments and live healthier lives with their families. I was compelled to join nursing due to the compassion that I would be able to provide patients alongside the medical attention that they require. I am passionate about working as a nurse to the best of my abilities and learning more about how to become a strong member of the field. Outside of my academia, I have worked at a part-time job looking after elderly patients and I enjoyed the various perspectives that I have gained from my patients. Throughout my years at Hunter Bellevue School of Nursing, I’ve gained a multifaceted overview of how to approach nursing. I am especially grateful for the scholarship that I have been granted during my college education, and I would like to thank the faculty for being the most exceptional providers of knowledge and compassion within the nursing field. The scholarship not only assisted in alleviating financial burdens but connected me to amazing like-minded peers and mentors. Being part of this program has given me the opportunity to also mentor underclassmen who are also pursuing nursing and participate in many community outreach activities. I have been introduced to my future career in a way that has truly inspired me to take my goals to the next level and I look forward to the next step of my path.
