FIRST PMHNP GRADUATE FROM COX COLLEGE
I want to be a nurse because they the ones patients come in contact with every day and I want to make sure they receive the utmost _ Aerial Cowles quality of care.
quality of care. I want to care for others the way that I was cared for, and make people feel safe like I felt safe. Life has been hard—starting with leukemia when I was younger and now an aneurysm that resulted in three brain surgeries. I hope my experiences help me relate to patients in a way that makes them feel comfortable and helps them on their road to recovery. I want to help them find strength and hope, because against all odds, I am living proof of survival.

Aldrich Ocampo is a success story of immigrants. He migrated from the Phillipines back in 2011, the same year he started his nursing career. It has always been his goal to pursue the nursing profession. Once he completed his undergraduate degree, he then sought to continue his education by finishing his first Masters in Nursing with a focus in Health Care Education at the University of Phoenix (with honors). Teaching has been a passion, too, and that paved the way for opportunity to teach future nurses. A year after finishing school, he went back to school to pursue Advance Practice Nursing and completed his Family Nurse Practice Program with honors. Upon graduation, he received an unexpected opportunity to work at CoxHealth/Ferrell Duncan Pain Management Center. It was during this time he realized that he wanted to pursue a Psychiatry specialty. "When Cox College opened up their Post Masters Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) program, it was perfect time for me due to my five years of behavioral health background. I loved my experience at the College and I felt the support of my professors and administration while working and going to school at the same time."
