Tell us about your career.
I have been a nurse for 12 years, I have worked in Med/Surg, Internal Medicine, Pediatric Endocrinology, and currently in Dialysis.
Why did you decide to become a nurse?
I have always wanted to be a nurse since I could remember, I always wanted to take care of other people
What’s the best thing about your job?
The best thing about my job is my patients, in Dialysis we see our patients 3 times a week so you build a significant relationship with them. It’s exciting and makes me happy when someone receives a transplant that is successful but it is also hard because dialysis is a life sustaining measure not a cure and it’s tough when you lose a patient.
It is tough right now. We do have clinics dialyzing patients who have COVID-19 and have been exposed, so staying safe is my priority for my patients, myself and my family
What is your advice for families in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis?
My advice to moms if you are home enjoy this time you have to spend with the kids and embrace it. For working moms, hang in there it will get better and for my fellow nurses I am praying for you on a daily bases it is an uphill battle for sure but we will get through it one day at a time
