Akeeka Davis: Hi, everyone. I am Akeeka Davis. I am currently studying at Villanova University. I am a third year PhD candidate and our focus is on the teacher-scholar model.
What drew you to nursing?
Akeeka Davis: Nursing is an art and a science in which you have to obviously go through rigorous training and learn a tremendous amount of science and math and statistics and social sciences as well to go out and apply what we've learned from a scientific perspective, but also from an art perspective, being able to have that human touch, the fact that we are giving holistic care to really save lives. And that is to this day, I've been a nurse for over a decade and to this day, you never get tired of it.
What would you like to do once you have completed your degree?
Akeeka Davis: When I complete my PhD program at Villanova University, I'm definitely gonna be in a classroom. I'm going to be a nursing professor, but also, I want to be a nurse executive. I'm definitely going the executive track. I see myself in the boardroom making those important decisions and advocating for our profession as a whole.
If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Akeeka Davis: If I could eat one food for the rest of my life, I swear it would it be a French fry. I know it's not healthy. I am on this nutrition kick right now, but that is my guilty pleasure. My ultimate healthy food that I would eat for the rest of my life is spinach. So I am torn between two worlds.
