What sparked your interest in your chosen career path?
When I was 7 years old, I was diagnosed with Perthes disease, which led me to have multiple surgeries at a young age. I was surrounded by numerous health professionals, but one nurse in particular stuck out to me the most. I truly believe that you can tell the difference between an individual who is working their job because it’s their passion versus a paycheck. I can truly thank “nurse Micki” for making that impact in my life, and for inspiring me to make that difference in the lives of others.
