Meet Nursing Student Loyda

This is Loyda. Her educational path has been different than most of our scholarship students. Loyda first became a scholarship program student when she was 16 and enrolling in a technical prep high school in Valladolid to study nursing. The technical prep nursing course was three years in classroom followed by a one year internship. After the internship Loyda received a technical degree. 
Loyda is now doing a second internship in Merida. This internship she has gone out into the communities consulting on visual, hearing, and dental health, and pregnancy risks. Loyda will complete this internship in a few months. When she finishes, she will start her university nursing studies, which will be one year of classes and one more year of internship. She hasn't yet decided her specialty in nursing. 

We are very proud of Loyda for her growth and development and determination to complete her studies to become a nurse.
