Hey there! My name is Madison Crane and I am from Lancaster, New Hampshire! I am a Nursing Major who has dreamed of pursuing a career in pediatric travel nursing since I was a child. I currently work as a Licensed Nursing Assistant in a local nursing facility in my hometown when school is not in session. I take my studies very seriously, but when I’m not being an academic, you may find me watching a sports game, at the beach or spending time with family and friends! I am looking forward to what my undergraduate years shall entail. I am a go-getter, never feel satisfied, and always crave more, which is why the ever-changing world of healthcare is so appealing to me. I will be constructing this ePortfolio over my time here at UNE using WordPress.
“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched — they must be felt with the heart.” -Helen Keller
As a future nurse, I want nothing more than to promote compassion, empathy, and kindness in this world. Life is short, tragedy is unexpected, and love is plentiful. I live every single day to the fullest and encourage others to as well.
Growing up in a small town has taught me both the beauty of simplicity and developed my curiosity for the vast world that exists outside of Northern New Hampshire. As a fiercely independent, competitive, motivated young woman, being secluded from reality does not align with my aspirations. From bass fishing to snowmobiling to watching sports, my hometown is a part of my identity I will never let go of, but I’d be lying to say I haven’t spent the last eighteen years waiting for studying, stethoscopes, and scrub-wearing. Bring it on, UNE Nursing! Roll Clouds!
Why Nursing?
Chances are quite high that we’ve all encountered children who say they have absolutely no idea how they want to spend the rest of their lives. It’s a rarity for one to proclaim the opposite, but I proudly make up a portion of that population. As an ill child, I spent a lot of time with pediatric nurses who comforted me in my most vulnerable state. My earliest memories are not necessarily clear, but the sense of security my nurses provided me with has driven me to pursue a career of my own in the same field. I look forward to the next chapter of my life more than I can express.
