Margarita Rodriguez
Millers College of Nursing

My name is Margarita Rodriguez I was born in July 25, 1974 in Newburgh, NY. My parents were born in Puerto Rico, and I am the eldest of two children. I am the first one in my family to go to college.

When I start something I always finish and I do not let anything or anyone get in the way of my goals. My goal is to graduate and become an RN and gain experience completing different tasks in nursing, whether it is to work in a nursing home or hospital. I later want to become a travel nurse and maybe do accounting on the side; such as, taxes. Nursing is something that is available to a wide variety of people, it is forever changing along with new technology and advancements. I am glad to be a part of something that has come a long way and helps so many
