Hello fellow students!

 
My name is Patrick Harrell and I am currently attending Nurse Anesthesia School at Wolford College in Naples, Fla. I'm serving as the Student Representative on the Health and Wellness Committee.
 

I am a very motivated and passionate about leading a healthy and active lifestyle. I personally have overcome many milestones over the years in my continued goal of maintaining a healthy weight. Although my trials and tribulations have sent me on many different paths, I feel that it has aided me in creating a well-rounded lifestyle including regular exercise and diet control.

See photos below of Wolford students participating at a Moe's Corporate 5K in Naples, Fla.  We won first place in the collegiate division! 

I'm proud to continue the work of previous students on the committee.  My goal during my term (September 2011 - August 2012) is to help student nurse anesthetists be more informed about the importance of wellness throughout your lives, but especially during the stressful years of being a nurse anesthesia student. 

Be sure to check out the links below to information that can be very helpful to all aspects of your health and well-being as a student. 

I've also included a link to information for student opportunities on AANA committees; Health and Wellness, Practice, and Public Relations committees each have one student member selected by the President-elect. Deadline is May 1, 2012.

I'll be in touch with you soon but if you have any thoughts, just send me an email.
