Riley Cronin, a junior at MCS, who wants to pursue a career as a neonatal nurse, has been accepted into an honors-level internship at St. Peter’s Hospital in Albany. “I have always been the type of person to want to work with children and help them,” Riley said. “And when I stayed at the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Albany Med it made me realize how many kids are in there that need help and I want to give back. There are so many babies in need of help.”
The New Visions Health Careers initiative is an advanced Capital Region BOCES program designed for a select-group of high school seniors interested in medical and health-related professions. Riley’s days will start early, taking a bus from the high school to St. Peter’s at 6:30 AM and she will be back at MHS in the afternoon to take core classes. “I am really grateful to have the opportunity to do this program. I think it’s going to really help me get some more clarity about what I want to do and where I want to go with it,” Riley said.
