My name is Tracey L. Pavelchik and I am a graduate of the December 2008 School of Nursing at MTSU with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing.

I chose nursing as my profession because nursing is a way to take care of  myself, my family, and others in their time of need.

I believe that the core of nursing is to take care of patients and people when they are at their most vulnerable state.

I believe that the focus of nursing is to be compassionate, caring and strive to not only help others but to not judge them in their time of need.
