I'm a Husky

A graduating senior, Comfort Nyesuah is health sciences major from Philadelphia in the pre-accelerated second degree nursing program. Among her involvement at BU include the National Advancement Association for Colored People, Husky PAWS, BOG scholar, Gospel Choir , CGA, Chi Alpha Epsilon Honor Society.

"Bloomsburg not only taught me to be a leader but helped me grow in different aspects of my life, along with realizing there's always room for improvement and further opportunities. I'm different today then my first day as a freshman because not only have I grown mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally but now I can finally say 'I made it!'"

Nyesuah says BU has prepared her well for her next step, particularly through her internship with the Geisinger Bloomsburg Hospital that led to her getting hired as a certified nursing assistant during her senior year in the Medical Surgery Unit.

"Along with those excelling science courses, Lord knowns I'll never forget about," Nyesuah says. "Which will be very helpful in my next journey. They definitely prepared me for nursing school. How can I forget about the 206 bones in the human body!"

Following graduation Nyesuah will be attending an accelerated nursing program in Philadelphia and then onto graduate school pursuing a master's degree as a nurse practitioner with hopes of working in the NICU.

"What I'm going to miss the most about BU is the amount of opportunities it's given me, the resources that has opened doors for me and the relationships I have made here," Nyesuah says. "From the faculty who cared deeply about my success and helped me succeed to the friends who will be the bridesmaid at my wedding. Those relationships are unforgettable ones."

I’m a Husky

Hailing from Philadelphia, Rashee Hall is a graduating nursing major.

Rashee was very involved on campus being an Orientation Workshop Leader (OWL), a community assistant, Board of Governor scholar, member of Chi Alpha Epsilon, and a PASS mentor.

“I think I could write a novel on the positive impressions I have had from BU left on me over my years here,”Hall says. “So I will just pick the two organizations that have left the biggest impact on me being a CA and OWL here on campus definitely are the two biggest honors I have been involved in outside of being a nursing major.”

Hall adds, “These two organizations mean so much to me because I learned so much from them both, those lifelong friends I met have been through both of these organizations and that is what matters most to me the connections you build with people and both of these organizations gave me optimal opportunity to do so and they hold a special place in my heart for eternity.”

Being here past few years Hall has truly embraced the Bloomsburg community.

“The thing I will miss most about Bloomsburg is all the people I met over my years here,” Hall says. “I have truly met a lot of genuine and compassionate people I will miss them so much because over this time that seemed so long but is relatively short when you put it in perspective to your life.”

He adds, “I have gained true lifelong friends. The biggest reason I will miss Bloomsburg and making connections with people is because I know that I can’t get this experience back like there is no replay button. I will miss Bloomsburg in totality if we’re being honest.”

He’s ready for the next step.

“Far as my next step I feel well prepared Bloomsburg has taught me more about myself than anything and that holds so much more value than anything learned in the classroom,” Hall says. “While being here I have learned how to adapt to any and every situation and that gives me confidence that I can handle whatever life throws at me.”

Advice for the next generation.

“Here is the greatest advice I can give a student or anyone considering Bloomsburg, Get involved,” Hall says. “This is how you will meet people from all over the world, and it will expose you to many cultures and different types of people.”
