Ragiata Bah

Nursing

Ragiata Bah is a student at the Terry Campus in Dover where she is studying to receive her nursing degree. One day, she wants to become a nurse practitioner after working as a registered nurse and earning her Bachelor of Science in Nursing.

"I'm a caring person by nature. I want to make a difference in people's lives," Bah said about her decision to go down her selected career path.

Since starting at Delaware Tech as a nursing student and a mother to young children, Bah has recognized her ability to manage stress more efficiently in her daily life.

"Some of the obstacles I faced were balancing motherhood and studying, as well as commuting 50 miles to and from campus in high-volume traffic to attend my classes," she said. "I have seen an improvement in myself when learning how to handle and push through these difficulties."

Bah's favorite memories spent at the College so far have been from her lab simulation. She appreciates that Delaware Tech offers this opportunity to its nursing students in order to gain experience and learn from their mistakes in a safe and supportive environment.

Her advice for her peers at Delaware Tech is to never give up on their dreams. "It is true that there will be setbacks at times, but don't let that break you. Remember this too shall pass, and you can do it!"
