DACA nursing student
Donation protected
Hello again! My name is Elaine Monzalvo and I am in my last semester of nursing. I wanted to give a little update for those of you who have donated in the past and wanted to know how my last semester went.
To be honest, it was rough. Past nursing students would always tell me that Level 4 was rough and they were right. There were times when I felt that I wouldn't make it through because halfway through the semester, I felt mentally drained. And it didn't help that we had to make a lot of changes because of Covid during our last month (which I completely understand). Looking back now, I realized that I couldn't have made it without God's help. And only through His power am I where I am right now, in my last semester of nursing, months away from graduating.
I will be graduating November 21, 2020. I am both excited and nervous to start this new journey as a nurse. I just need help with my finances. For those of you who don't know, I am a DACA student. This affects me because there is not a lot of scholarships or loans available to me. I owe the school $18,000. I will not be able to take the NCLEX or start working as a nurse until I pay this off. I'm putting my faith in God once again that more miracles can happen. For some reason, God allowed me to come to the Union College Nursing program and I know that He did it for a reason and will help me through this.
I want to thank everyone in advance for sharing this post and being so generous with their money. I know that right now is not a good time financially for many people because of how Covid has affected so many families. So I would like to ask those who are unable to donate or share my post to put me in your prayers and those of my other classmates who are in the same situation. Thank you so much.
