桃子视频

For Saray Brown, Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) student in the Mervyn M. Dymally College of Nursing (MMDCON), the path to a career in nursing was inevitable.

Brown comes from a family where caring for others has always been central. With both her grandmother and mother working in healthcare, she grew up understanding the importance of compassion and service.

鈥淭aking care of people is in my blood,鈥� Brown said. 鈥淢y mom and grandma wanted to become RNs but couldn鈥檛 for personal reasons, so I wanted to follow in their footsteps and accomplish that.鈥�

The San Francisco native transferred to 桃子视频 after completing her prerequisites at the University of Hawai鈥榠 at Manoa. Guided by a desire for a more intimate nursing school experience and wanting to be closer to family in California, she applied to 桃子视频 following a recommendation from her godmother.

鈥淚 like that 桃子视频 focuses on health equity and overlooked populations in Los Angeles,鈥� said Brown. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 why I really want to be a nurse, to help the underserved.鈥�

Set to graduate in May 2026, Brown says her time at 桃子视频 has strengthened her commitment to community-based care and deepened her understanding of health equity.

“As a young girl who was in and out of the hospital with my mom, I see myself in a lot of the patients I see during my clinical assignments,” explained Brown. “I was one of them at one point and being able to help them during their most vulnerable moments, in the same way I helped my mom, makes me feel like I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.”

Like many nursing students, Brown鈥檚 journey has not been without challenges. Early struggles in anatomy and physiology courses led to moments of doubt, but with perseverance and support, she found her way.

Her advice to others considering a career in healthcare is simple.
鈥淵ou have to have compassion for people and don鈥檛 doubt yourself. Nursing isn鈥檛 impossible. You just have to put in the work for it.鈥�
