It may seem like you're in a small town/college, but just know that you can make it BIG. What encouragement or advice would you like to pass on to the student-athletes, alumni, coaches, and fans of UT Tyler Athletics? I miss those interactions with loved ones, but it's critical that they stay home to minimize the risks both to the patients and me. We are not allowing family members of our patients into the hospital any longer. This virus is serious- I have seen patients who have beat cancer but only to succumb to this virus. This means that we must take extra precautions like never before, both for our patients and for ourselves. The lifesaving agents we give for cancer-fighting purposes take away our patients' immune systems completely, leaving them as the most vulnerable population in the world.įor now, I continue to work solely with oncology patients, but with the added burden of many of them having tested positive for COVID-19.
Shah: Being an oncology nurse in New York City, my normal job duty is to care for those who have cancer, whether that's administering chemotherapy/biotherapy, educating, or providing comfort.ĭuring the pandemic, my patients are not only battling cancer, but also now battling COVID-19. To this day, running is the only thing that is keeping me sane, and I got that training from UT Tyler Athletics.ĭescribe your normal job duties have those changed due to the coronavirus pandemic? If so, describe how your job has changed (regardless of what I did the previous night), confidence in knowing that I'm capable of all, and resiliency in bouncing back stronger from any setbacks. Running cross country at UT Tyler gave me discipline, confidence, and most importantly, resiliency. I took that concept and ran with it (pun intended). They taught me it isn't about the result it's about giving it your all and knowing you'll always have the support of your team family. But my team and my coach didn't care because they were more concerned about teaching me perseverance. I was by no means fast in fact, I was one of the last to always finish the races. I was recruited by Coach Grant Spencer because I was running on the treadmill at the same time practice happened. Shah: I ran cross country for only one semester at UT Tyler, but it was my favorite semester in college. Shah is a registered nurse at New York Presbyterian Hospital in upper Manhattan.ĭescribe how your UT Tyler Athletics experience has impacted your career Shah was inducted in 2015 to UT Tyler's Chi Alpha Sigma honor society, a national scholar-athlete society honoring collegiate student-athletes who excel both in the classroom and in athletic competition.
