Student Life

by Kelsey Bonacci

Students Yang Du and Faith Metlock volunteered to give the world a glimpse of their day-to-day routines on Instagram in November. They shared short videos and pictures to describe their days as busy nursing students. You can see their "instagram takeover" stories and others at Instagram.com/ohiostatenursing. 

Here are some highlights:


 

Yang Du
  • Senior BSN honors student, minor in international relations and diplomacy
  • "International Buckeye" from Nanjing, China
  • Nursing student ambassador and senator of the College of Nursing in undergraduate student government
  • Yang says, "Self care is just as important as care for others. Normally I would walk to classes; since we’re online due to COVID-19, my roommate and I like taking walks."
  •  She enjoys taking a healthy snack break and saying "Hi" to her plants. The one in the photo is named Casablanca!
