Emily Baptiste
Bachelor of Science in Nursing
A Passion to Help Others
Watching her mother care for her grandmother first sparked Emily Baptiste’s interest in becoming a nurse. Learning the hands-on skills of the job at Delaware Tech helped reinforce that it was the right job for her.
“We see people at the most vulnerable parts of their lives,” Baptiste said. “I like that we can help them feel better.”
Baptiste graduated from Delaware Tech with her ADN in 2016 and immediately enrolled in the BSN program – which she completed a semester early in December 2018.
“The associate degree program was wonderful and the constant clinical experience really prepared you for what to expect as a nurse,” Baptiste said. “And the support from the instructors helped me feel more confident in myself.”
The BSN program taught her policies, leadership skills, and made her a more well-rounded nurse by exposing her to different areas like learning medical terms in Spanish. Baptiste said she feels having the bachelor’s degree will now open doors to different job opportunities she may have never pursued.
Baptiste has worked for Beebe Healthcare as an orthopedic medical-surgical nurse for three years. She has a lot of goals she would like to accomplish such as obtaining her doctorate, working in critical care, and becoming a nurse practitioner.
“Right now I love being a floor nurse and being at the patients’ bedside,” she said. “It’s very rewarding when people say ‘thank you.’”
