My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, compassion, some humor, and some style.

-Maya Angelou

Summary:

Observing from an outside point of view, one could consider the nursing profession a revolving door of opportunity. I believe nursing leans more towards the finer arts of care deliverance alongside creating individualized conceptions that meet beyond the standards of quality of care through critical thought processes. Nursing entails reaching through the community resources in order to provide that said quality of care to anyone in our community that is in need. It has always been my responsibility to provide resources whenever or wherever I can for my patients. Nursing is more than medication administration or following a specific order. My extensive experience as a nurse has allowed me to grow into an individual who is determined, compassionate, self-sufficient, and enthusiastic when it entails providing the utmost quality of care that is individualized to anyone in need. Nursing has always been more than a career choice, nursing is my ministry. Over the years, I continue to grow through education and experience. Obtaining my master’s degree and becoming a nurse practitioner has influenced my ability of becoming the surpassing nurse I am strive to be every day.
