Franchesca dreams of becoming a Registered Nurse (RN) after recently completing her associate’s degree; she is ready to begin earning her credentials in the healthcare field. She came to YJC prepared to secure her healthcare certifications to pursue her career.

Franchesca initially decided to pursue a career in healthcare because of her daughter. She hopes her career will help her better understand children’s health, allowing her to care for her daughter when she is sick. Franchesca currently works in a healthcare setting, helping people with various conditions. She loves her job because she gets to help and care for people every day. Franchesca prides herself on being a continuous learner and loves working in an industry where she continuously learns new things and expands her knowledge.

We know Franchesca will excel within the healthcare industry, as her biggest strengths are empathy and understanding. She is a people person, and her personality and compassion make her excellent at her work. She is working hard to gain the experience and licenses needed to become a Pediatric Nurse.

Keep up the great work, Franchesca!
