Community Health, Image & Breakthrough to Nursing Director
James Reder
James Reder
Hello! My name is James Reder. I am a nursing student at Michigan State University and I will be graduating in December of 2018. Once I obtain my BSN license, I plan on working in a cardiac intensive care unit. The art of nursing interests me because you are able to connect with members of your community in a variety of ways such as teaching them about their health, providing resources, and healing through medicine.
I am excited to be the Picture Community Health and Image & Breakthrough to Nursing Director in MNSA because I believe nurses are a foundational pillar in a community. To continue to uphold the reputation of nurses through community outreach programs is an honor. Also, I have a history of working as a HIV/AIDS Resource and Education volunteer with the Lansing Area AIDS network, so to also have the opportunity to have an influence on public health is right up my ally. Please feel free to contact me if you have any interest in our community outreach programs.
