Bachelor of Science in Nursing Candidate – Jake Cramer

My name is Jake Kramer, I am from Napa, California.  I started my journey into the healthcare field in high school by joining a fire cadet program.  Exposure to pre-hospital medicine enticed me to aspire to be an EMT with the goal of becoming a paramedic.  After working as an EMT, I found that I was drawn to hospital medicine and changed my goal to be an RN.  Working in the emergency department during nursing school I fell in love with being able to connect with members of the community.  You will never know who will walk through the hospital front door or what kind of stories you will have from that one shift at work.  It is that unpredictability that keeps me on my toes and coming back for more. My goal after graduation is to work in the emergency department and keep learning every day.
