HIII!
My name is Fatimah, originally from Saudi Arabia, and I graduated from Cleveland State University in last May! I am starting October 8th! Super excited for the opportunity and to get to know new RNs as well! I was born in a big family, my parents and 8 siblings, order 7 and the baby 27 yo girl! My oldest niece is 9 months younger than me lol.
I enjoy playing video games and teaching my friends or family members. Anything I am good at, I will be able to teach. I was a tutor and suplemental instructor mainly for chemistry, but there was some additional entry level courses for undergrad levels for 3 years. Weirdly, but, I LOVE MATH.
I also worked as nurse intern in Metrohealth in my senior year, a local hospital in Cleveland, OH in rehab center for neuro issues, which was the reason I am starting at surgical neurology floor!
I hope you all a great nursing residency year!!

Hi everyone! I’m Olamide Omotoso. I usually go by Ola because it's easier to pronounce (tip: it's like you are saying "Hi" in Spanish), and I’m excited to join the Nurse Residency Program. I’m originally from Nigeria but currently live in Houston, Texas. I graduated from Western Governors University, and my start date is January 2025! I'll be at Mary Brigh on their Cardiac Surgery PCU. I am a shy person at first, but I warm up once I become comfortable with the environment and/or people.
Looking forward to connecting with fellow New Nurses and building some great relationships as we begin this journey together. I would love to connect with you; please message me here or on Instagram @ horla_omot

Hello everyone! My name is Savanna Sabby, and I am a new grad working in the Medical ICU. I am originally from Buffalo, MN and I graduated from Minnesota State University, Mankato this past May. I worked as an aide in assisted living/memory care for a year and then worked as a PCA/nurse tech at Mayo Clinic Health System in Mankato for two years. I completed my capstone in the Medical ICU and then was offered a job on the unit. I started in the MICU in July and recently came off of orientation. I am excited to start the nurse residency program and meet more people!

Welcome, Savanna! How great that you were able to experience the MICU during your capstone. It is a great unit and I am so happy to hear that you are excited for residency!
