Serge Ronald Ruiz, NP

BSN '10

I went to FIU because I'm a medical doctor from Mexico. They had a program at FIU that worked as a bridge program from being a foreign physician to doing nursing. A few years after they started that program, I applied there and decided to go. It was a great program, and I had a great time. They gave me an opportunity that I didn't have. I didn't have my license to work as a physician at that time, and nursing was another option to start to get my feet wet. It was great. I got a great experience at the FIU North Campus. I learned a lot there from the nursing point of view that I didn't learn as a physician. Now, I'm working as an adult geriatric nurse practitioner. I got my master's degree at the University of Miami after FIU.
