What do you enjoy most about practicing medicine?
What I enjoy most about nursing is the profound impact it has had on both my professional and personal life. On the nursing floor, I found great fulfillment in precepting nursing students and mentoring new nurses. Nursing truly is “work from the heart,” and it requires patience, compassion, and empathy—especially when caring for older patients who are adjusting to illness and the loss of independence. I have always approached patient care with a simple philosophy: treat patients as if they were your own family. Spending time with patients allows me to understand their needs on a deeper level, which not only improves care but has also been invaluable in my personal life—helping me care for my parents as they aged and guiding me through the challenges of raising my own children.
