Read more about Anderson and his time at UT below:
Why do you want to be a nurse? I want to be a nurse because I enjoy a profession which challenges me intellectually and provides flexibility in life. I also enjoy leaving a positive impression in my patients’ lives.
What inspires you? I am inspired by new experiences, challenges, and environments. I enjoy doing new things, figuring out challenges, and getting to know new places and people.
What has been one of your favorite memories during your time at UT? My favorite memory while at UT was the Tennessee vs Alabama game and rushing the field with all my friends.
What are your career goals? My goal is to become a trauma surgical critical care nurse at a level 1 trauma center. I also would like to eventually become a clinical instructor at a university.
The most influential element of my UT nursing education has been… my clinical instructors and preceptors. I could not have asked for better clinical instructors or preceptors to promote a positive learning environment.
What makes the college special? I have found my community here. The friends I met at nursing orientation are the friends I will have for a lifetime.
