Jesus Rebolledo

For the past six years as an agency nurse, I have been committed to caring for members of my community from the moment of birth in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit to their dying day's in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Have taken care of new onsets asthma attacks to running code blues in the Emergency Room (ER). Every patient has taught me and made me grow as a professional leaving me wanting to give and do more for my patients. Pursuing this graduate degree has been a dream since graduating from the University of Texas at Brownsville. To me, nursing is an art and art is something that takes time to foster creativity amongst us. Becoming a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) is not something that happens overnight taking years of dedication as well as clinical knowledge and skills.

With the exceptional FNP training that The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley has to offer, I feel that I will be able to manage and diagnose an array of conditions from acute to chronic. Furthermore, with the completion of school, I intend to open a practice with my wife allowing for more health care access to the people in and around our community. As an FNP I will be a leader in my community and advocate for my patients as well as become a role model. Many years of being in the military and serving in every department at local hospitals I feel have prepared me for the FNP work environment as well as collaborating with physicians.
To the FNP program, I bring the student body professional experiences in multiple departments like Neonatal ICU, Pediatric ICU, Pediatrics, Medical Surgical, Medical Telemetry, Adult ICU, PACU, Mental Health, Case Manager, and Emergency Room in a hospital and in a telephonic setting across the United States. More than any of this I bring an array of characteristics and traits to help me be successful in the FNP program and in my intended job path.
