Pivot, don't Panic!!! There's always more than one way to do something.

Life experiences, literature searches, and patient reviews state that "Nursing is the Most Trustworthy Profession." I value Ethics, Humanism, Compassion, and share these values with patients, students, and peers. These values influence my functioning in the Nursing Profession. I have first been an Advocate for myself in varied roles, which has been necessary. Being an advocate, and a positive influence when caring for patients, or teaching students has always been my focus. Caring Behaviors promote Positive Outcomes. I believe the Nursing Profession must remain and be allowed to expand because many lives depend on it. Yes, we need other healthcare professions, but who is actually carrying out the orders, and leaving an impact on the patients......the Nurse.

Life itself is a rollercoaster. Some experiences are full of love, others not so much. Yet every single one shapes the woman you are today. With the gifts and talents you were born with and have strengthened, you rise as an empathetic person, determined to do good without asking for anything in return.

Once I finally realized that from the moment of conception, I was enough, I now do everything I can to encourage those who seek my help to be firmly grounded in the truth of their value and worth, which helps them to show up confidently and authentically in each moment.

In my earlier years, I was surrounded by family and people, and yet I was still alone through every struggle and defeat. So I intentionally reach out to give a helping hand, a hug or a word of encouragement to other women who may be surrounded by others and yet all alone.
