Hello all, My Name is Brittany Metzger, and I am a current student at Trent University in the Bachelor of Science Nursing Program. This Book was designed to document changes as well as what remained constant, such as goals beliefs hopes and dreams throughout my journey.

A passion for equality, rights, human beings and throw in a borderline obsession of the biology and the chemistry of the human body, I think I am finally on the right path. I dabbled in Biotechnology after high school, but it was missing something…people! I am here on this journey to be given the golden ticket. The golden ticket to me is being able to be there for people on their worst days or their best days, either way to be there to wipe a tear or crack a smile.

When I was a kid, my favorite movie was Patch Adams, I kid you not instantaneously after watching I devoted all my time to try and make others happy.

I hear all the time you have to take care of yourself first, but I do.  when I go to work with my “cup” half empty and am given an opportunity to ease someone’s fears or provide some support, I leave that night with my “cup” overflowing. my childhood self would be happy, I have overcome obstacles others could not imagine. My trials and tribulations are what brought me here, wanting to care for others and mold Patch Adams into a better version of myself. Patch Adams as an RPN is cool and all but seeking a higher education in order to understand and use my critical thinking skills to heal, I’d be unstoppable. I was a very gifted child but lacked guidance, I only wanted to engage in what I enjoyed. Well fortunately it worked out because that was all things science.

I do believe my journey towards higher education will allow my passion for people and healing to combine forces with my hyper-focused brain I see a bright light ahead for myself as well as my future patients.
