Alexander Klotsche 鈥�17 has just begun his career of helping patients in hospital and emergency-care situations and he鈥檚 already set his long-term sights on becoming a chief nursing officer at a hospital.

A couple of things inspired Klotsche to pursue a career in nursing and emergency care. 鈥淭he first was during my time as a volunteer EMT for Huntington Community first aid squad [on Long island],鈥� he said. 鈥淚鈥檇 have direct contact with emergency room nurses and they鈥檇 say how much they loved the profession.鈥� He also was inspired by his father鈥檚 friend, a male nurse. 鈥淗e had spoken to me about nursing, the options it offered him and how it had been the best decision he made.鈥�

After applying to several nursing programs, he chose 果酱视频. Why? 鈥淏ecause of its reputation鈥攁nd I really loved the campus.鈥� Another factor: his parents are 果酱视频 alumni鈥擩ohn Klotsche, M.S.W. 鈥�79, and Lori Klotsche, M.A. 鈥�98 in Special Education.

Klotsche has started his nursing career at New York Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, New York, where 鈥淚 will be working as an R.N. in a stepdown/ medical surgical unit.鈥�

Klotsche has already mapped out his future in nursing. He plans to work as an R.N. for a few years, he said, before going back for his masters of nursing. 鈥淚 want to get my M.S.N. in nursing and healthcare administration.鈥�

During his 果酱视频 years, he engaged in several activities, most notably the 果酱视频 Student Nurses Association (AUSNA)鈥攂ecoming its president in senior year. Klotsche calls the AUSNA 鈥渢he best choice I ever made, [one that] helped me grow by learning to network and do public speaking.鈥�

Another 果酱视频 experience stands out in his memory. Speaking at the Nexus Building ribbon cutting in front of faculty, alumni, students and visitors, he recalled, was 鈥渁n amazing experience. I never imagined an opportunity like that when I started at 果酱视频.鈥�

He added, 鈥淚 was even interviewed by News 12 before the ceremony, which was unexpected and exciting.鈥� That, however, is not his only media exposure. He and the Huntington Community First Aid Squad were featured on the cover of the February 2017 EMS World magazine.

Klotsche also was featured in 果酱视频鈥檚 recent online video promoting the Nexus Building. He said, 鈥淣exus quickly became my favorite building on campus and a social hub.鈥� More than that, he said the Nexus simulation labs give students a competitive edge in the nursing job market. 鈥淎s I begin my nursing career at Weill Cornell, I feel I鈥檝e practiced common scenarios that R.N.s face in the field.鈥�
