Sarah Borota
My name is Sarah Borota and I am a senior at the University of Arkansas. I am in the Eleanor Mann School of Nursing and currently in the second semester of the four semester program. I have loved every minute of being at the University of Arkansas and still have many experiences to come!
I am from Greenwood, Ark. I graduated from Greenwood High School with a graduating class of 250 students. I was very active in sports and clubs all through high school. I transferred to the University of Arkansas my junior year to start the nursing program. I loved the town of Fayetteville and could not wait for school to start!
I decided to major in nursing my senior year of high school. My mother is a nurse so I knew what all it entailed. I visited a few schools for nursing but knew the University of Arkansas was the only place I wanted to be. They told me how competitive getting in was and how demanding the classes were, but now that I'm in there's nothing else I would want to do.
I live off campus in an apartment close to the university and ride the bus to school every day. I love the town of Fayetteville and it is the perfect size for me. The town is not that big once you learn your way around and there is plenty to do, never a dull moment. I completed two and a half years before applying to the program and was accepted in spring 2009! I have done my clinicals at the local hospitals, and the staff is extremely nice and willing to teach me everything they know. I have learned so much after just one semester. I plan on working at least two years after I graduate from the U of A before pursing an Emergency Nurse Practitioner degree.
The College of Education and Health Professions is a great school. When I had questions about what classes to take, the COEHP had all the answers. The advisors were very nice and knowledgeable about my degree and what classes were required to get accepted in nursing school. I would recommend talking to one of the staff if you are the slightest bit interested in the college to see what all there is in store for you!
