Amanda Krakoff was inspired to pursue nursing because she has juvenile diabetes. Specifically, she hopes to become a pediatric diabetic educator.
鈥淚 encountered many different types of nurses throughout my hospital experiences. I want to become the nurse that I would want to take care of me鈥攃ompassionate, caring, empathetic, educated and attentive,鈥� she said.
Krakoff, a Nassau Community College transfer, selected the College of Nursing and Public Health because of its great reputation and beautiful campus.
A member of Tau Sigma, Krakoff also belongs to the International Nurses Association (INA). She will be included in the INA鈥檚 Worldwide Leaders in Healthcare, an annual reference guide distributed to hospitals and doctors鈥� offices.
Scheduled to graduate in December 2016, she described nursing as 鈥渁 hard major鈥� but pointed out that 鈥渃onnecting with peers and professors makes it so much easier. My classmates and I are so supportive and understanding of each other鈥攖hat鈥檚 the best part about Adelphi.鈥�
