Andrea Azparren Cruz from Pamplona, who graduated in Nursing from the University of Navarra in the 2019-20 academic year, has been placed issue 9 dela last test of Internal Nursing Resident (EIR), whose exam took place in March. Eight other graduates of the academic center have obtained one of the 1,683 places offered in Spain, to which 7,235 applicants applied.

For Andrea, her result was a complete surprise: "I left the exam in a state of shock. It was so hard -we already knew it was going to be so hard because the last editions had been very demanding- that I had the feeling of not knowing very well what I had done". "That's why this position," he stresses, "is a surprise and a award to almost 12 months of uninterrupted preparation."

Andrea recalls that they started the training at the academy a week before the state of alarm was decreed: "We only lost one class and immediately went to the training online, which we have maintained until the exam". "It went very well for me. I adapted right away to the study and the streaming classes, which at first I had to combine with the work Final of Degree and the final exams," stresses the nurse.

Fulfill a dream: do the specialization program of Matron in Pamplona
The test Nurse Intern Resident (EIR) gives access to six specialties: Family and Community Nursing, Obstetric-Gynecological Nursing (Midwifery), Mental Health Nursing, Pediatric Nursing, Nursing of work and Geriatric Nursing. "I always wanted to do the specialization program Midwifery," Andrea emphasizes. "The fact that I didn't know if I could do it or do it in any other province and, instead, to now have the certainty of being able to specialize in what I want at home, is a dream fulfilled," says the graduate of the last graduating class of Nursing at the University of Navarra.
