Arkansas Northeastern College is proud to announce that Nahrain Quhshi has been named as one of the Student Snapshop students for the month of February. Nahrain is a Nursing student who was nominated by ANC Nursing Instructor Kim Wallace.

“Nahrain shows the utmost respect for both staff and peers. She is always willing to assist her peers in any way possible whether it be studying or performing a skill in the clinical setting. She is very attentive in her studies and strives hard to excel. In the clinical setting, she is very helpful with the residents and spends a lot of her time just talking to and allowing her resident time to reminisce about their past experiences,” says Wallace.

Quhshi enjoys the challenges of the nursing program and enjoys being able to help others. “I chose to lead my way into the nursing field because healthcare will always have a special place in my heart. I always envisioned myself taking on a career that can challenge and interest me every day. I want to be able to connect with others in times of difficulty and to be able to help change their lives through healing. I aspire to become a registered nurse because I know that this career path would leave me feeling constantly satisfied and inspired.”

Arkansas Northeastern College provides Quhshi with a new environment in which she can grow and learn. “I was born and raised in Michigan, so moving to Arkansas was a far stretch from home, nonetheless I consider this place to be a new home to my future endeavors. I am a dedicated and passionate Middle Eastern female, who likes to take on any challenge that comes my way.”

Quhshi is flourishing in her current endeavors and seems to enjoy pursuing her dreams and aspirations, but she still makes time for her hobbies. When she is not studying or learning, she likes to spend time in the kitchen cooking and baking. She is also involved in the Gamma Beta Phi Honor Society as well as the Phi Kappa Phi Society and the ANC Student Nursing Club. “I help volunteer when I can by trying to be more helpful to the community,” added Quhshi.

ANC’s Nursing Program has a reputation for producing excellent nurses with an extremely high first-time pass rate on their State Boards. This success does not always come easy, but the reward is worth the work, and Quhshi says that her classes have prepared her for the challenging coursework in the program.

“My favorite classes are Anatomy and Physiology 1 and 2. These classes really prepared me for the nursing program. The lectures and labs prepared me for what is yet to come with the reality of dealing with the human body. I deeply appreciate the hands-on learning experience that introduced me to become more passionate about nursing. This course wouldn’t be the same without the wonderful instructor, Mrs. Rayder. She inspired me to understand the truth about hard work and that learning is much more than just a letter grade. It is understanding the material and applying it to real life. She encouraged me to accept every challenge that came my way and take them down one by one turning every weakness into a strength.”

The learning and experiences she is gaining now will help her in meeting her goal of eventually earning her bachelor’s degree in nursing. Through it all, she recognizes that ANC is helping her reach her goals.

“This college gave me the ability to be the person I am today by pushing me to perform my best in all ways possible. Each class that I took gave me a brief experience to new opportunities and new doors that led me to choose my major.”
