Introduction

Hi All

I’m Cristina di Bartolo. I completed my ADN at College of the Canyons in December of 2013 and passed the NCLEX in July of this year. I currently don’t have any nursing experience outside of nursing school clinical rotations. I did work for Kaiser Woodland Hills as a phlebotomist for two years, so I’m comfortable in a hospital setting.

I am the single mother a 12-year-old boy/pre-teen named Miles. He’s wonderful and brilliant but quite a handful. As such, I’ve elected to remain in my current job as a bartender until I’ve finished school.  A new job, school, plus an almost teenage son would be a bit much, being that a need and want to give my all in every area of my life.

My interest in terms of nursing include pediatrics, pediatric oncology, public health (specifically in the LGBTQ community), and OR; I’d love to become and RNFA at some point. I’m excited to see where my career takes me!

I’ve enjoyed the last two semesters at CSUCI, all the people I’ve met have been great. I’m looking forward to getting to know more of you!
