Overall, I was very pleased with my time at Northern Essex. The faculty and staff are all incredibly helpful and kind and truly want their students to succeed. The professors are always willing to help. I've built wonderful, lifelong friendships here and even though it's just a Community College, there are always fun activities that are run by Student Government. Volleyball and basketball games are also fun to attend!
Online learning is manageable, but virtual learning due The Pandemic has it's drawbacks. As a student in the Radiologic Technology program at Northern Essex Community College, most of the didactic learning experience has been virtual, something I am not used to. As for the clinical experience, it has been stressful. I am a brick-and-mortar student; I personally prefer to sit in the classroom physically socializing my my peers. Virtual learning feels robotic. I am a student who prefers to make personal connections where sometimes a pat on the back or a high-five are needed for me to succeed even momentarily. Clinical has been especially difficult due to the restrictions put in place that each employee has to comply with. Being cognizant of staying 6 feet apart, covering a cough even wearing a mask, and wiping down chairs took about two months to get used to especially with the limited time while at clinical. But meeting new patients daily making sure they feel safe has been rewarding.
Northern Essex Community College saved me. I was fired from my job as a pharmacy technician and was overwhelmed I didn't know what to do. All I knew was that I needed to go back to school and finish my degree. I went to small liberal arts college in Manchester, NH studying biological science and humanities. I felt that I did not belong and tuition was expensive. I had trouble grappling with the cost-benefit of earning a degree from an expensive school. I failed out of the college to which I turned to a trade school to become a pharmacy technician. Pharmacy taught me real-life situations especially on how to communicate with those who incompliant. Pharmacy taught me empathy and the need to take initiative. From my firing I entered Northern Essex with an appreciation of a second chance. I'm currently studying to be a Radiologic technologist, but The Pandemic has influenced my handling of depression and anxiety. Despite obstacles, I still plan to finish education here at Northern Essex.
