Join Mike and Harley in chatting with two of our Spartan nursing students, Alexandra Kaub and Jacob Bryde. Alex is a current undergraduate student in the Accelerated BSN program, based in the Detroit campus. She is set to graduate in August of 2024. In addition to attending lectures in Detroit, Alex has completed several clinical rotations in the Detroit area at Focus Hope and Henry Ford West Bloomfield. Alex graduated from MSU in 2016 with 2 degrees, a BS in Human Biology and a BS in Interdisciplinary Studies of Health and Society. In the years since earning her first degrees, Alex worked at a local Detroit nonprofit organization, at a Medicaid/Medicare Insurance company, and for the MDHHS doing data tracking during the pandemic. A little over 1 year ago, she decided to leave corporate life and become a healthcare professional. While applying for the ABSN program, she worked the night shift as a patient care tech on a Med/Surg unit at Ascension Providence Novi Hospital. After graduation, Alex is looking forward to a job in bedside nursing in a currently undecided specialty but is excited to continue to grow through her upcoming variety of clinical rotations. She looks forward to providing quality, compassionate care to her future patients.

The second guest, Jacob Bryde, is a current graduate student in the Doctor of Nursing Practice Adult Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner program at the Michigan State University College of Nursing. Jacob is in year 3 of the program with anticipated graduation in April of 2024. In addition to clinical rotations, Jacob and his doctoral project partner, are working with individuals with Parkinson’s disease in the Lansing area to better understand their experiences with managing their disease. Jacob is a graduate of both the College of Natural Sciences and the College of Nursing at Michigan State University, with bachelor’s degrees in human biology and nursing. Outside of academics, Jacob has worked at the bedside at E. W. Sparrow Hospital in Lansing, Michigan since 2019, on 7 South, the Med/Surg Pavilion, with additional med/surg experience at Henry Ford Allegiance Hospital in Jackson, MI. After graduation, Jacob hopes to continue his passion for helping individuals age gracefully by working with the adult and geriatric population.
