Sydney Potter

Rock Star Nurse

THANK YOU TCT, FOR HELPING ME REACH MY GOAL OF BECOMING A NURSE. I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL.

SINCE 2016: Sydney Potter (TCT Scholarship Recipient) graduated from Shenendehowa and went on to attend St. John Fisher College in Rochester, NY. She received the Fisher’s Community Service Scholarship, where she was given the opportunity to complete 200 hours of community service in the Rochester area each academic year and throughout the summers. Most of her volunteer experience took place at EquiCenter, a therapeutic horseback riding center for children and adults with mental and physical disabilities. It was easily one of her most memorable parts of college. She studied abroad in Costa Rica for one semester, where she was able to compare healthcare in Central America to healthcare in the United States and greatly improve her Spanish-speaking skills. In May 2020 she graduated with a Bachelors of Science degree in Nursing, as well as a minor in Spanish for Health Professions. And in July 2020, she passed her Nursing licensure exam and began working on a MedicalSurgical floor at Saratoga Hospital. In April, she moved to Buffalo to support her boyfriend who is in dental school. She now works as an Infusion Nurse, where she administers biologic medications intravenously to people who suffer from rheumatic diseases such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis, and Lupus. “I love that as an Infusion Nurse, I am able to administer medications that drastically improve patients’ lives, helping them to live with less pain. Thank you TCT for helping me to reach my goal of becoming a nurse. I am forever grateful.” - Sydney Potter Pg X.
