Greetings!

Hello. My name is Rhonda Blair and my IDS areas are Biomedical Sciences and Health with a Psychology minor. This semester I am finishing my degree with the last courses in my Health area. I am a working mother of three and I commute from Merritt Island to the Orlando campus. I wanted to stay close to home and wanted to take classes at UCF because I started college here out of high school many moons ago! It is very important for me to finish goals and set a good example for my children and have pride in my choice of institutions.

I initially enrolled in UCF to earn a B.S. in Nursing. I had already completed my Associate in Arts degree and realized that Nursing at UCF was too competitive and it would not allow me to pursue other study interests. I entered the IDS program late and have only had one semester between my "first" IDS semester and my last. I don't recommend this path. After graduation in December, I begin an R.N. program closer to home. I plan on working as a psychiatric nurse for approximately five years and then return to school to become a nurse practitioner! Goals, goals, goals!! I look forward to working with you all!
