  mentoring_philosophy: "There are no silly questions, I am just as much a student as they are, mutual respect, Its okay for teachers to be wrong and students to be right this does not intimidate me in fact I hope these students can teach me something new, Motivate, if students can see what i'm teaching as something useful for their careers then they will be more motivated, Practice makes perfect, repetition, practice, and committing time to things is what makes us better.

  overall_research_project_description: |-
    On my own time I purchased a high power microscope and have started to collect live samples from patients. I have been performing differential stains to see if i could develop a technique of identifying bacterial infection characteristics within 30 minutes. It works!

    Typical antibiotic prescription for sepsis involves evaluation of signs and symptoms with best guess of appropriate broad spectrum antibiotics until cultures ect resolve which normally takes 3-5 days. The purpose of project is to create a quick and efficient technique of identifying bacterial characteristics that can provide more actuate antibiotic prescription in that 0-3 day window.

    *******Currently Do not have clearance to collect samples*********
    I previously had access to live samples when I  was working in the hospital as a nurse in Virginia. I worked as a travel nurse all through covid and enrolled in the FSU DNP acute care program part time. I am transitioning to full time school this semester and will be working as a TA instead of working full time in the hospital. However I have already hundreds of hours perfecting a technique and beginning to create a data base.

    If UROP is looking for extra people to work with students I would be happy to do so. It would also provide me with some motivation. 

    It would not be difficult to start right back up. There are no overhead costs to the patient or the facility at all. I would just have to ask around for a clinic, hospital, infectious disease doc... ect that would allow us to collect samples. FSU has a walk in clinic that may be a good place to start. I MAY HAVE ENOUGH SAMPLES AND WORK TO OCCUPY STUDENTS FOR GREATER THAN 5 HOURS PER WEEK WITHOUT CLINIC ACCESS. 
  please_add_any_additional_information_here: |-
    The first email I received about the UROP opportunity I was excited about but I feared I may not have enough resources to offer students. The second email and the extension was an indicator to me that I should go ahead and submit the information I have and see what happens. I can hustle and find a new source to collect specimens and when I think about it further it will take students awhile before they are ready for live specimens. 

    I am not sponsored, I do not have a link, publications, or video clips. I do have plenty of microscope images I can submit. 

    I would consider my project if you are looking for extra mentors or if there is a high demand from medical/bio majors to learn this process. I started learning out of curiosity and so I could potentially incorporate this in my as an acute care NP. I can see how someone that would like to be a infectious disease doctor would greatly benefit from learning bedside microscopy
