I had the opportunity to begin my career on a telemetry unit, where I was fortunate to work alongside supportive and knowledgeable coworkers who guided me through my first year as a nurse. I’ve seen firsthand how a strong, collaborative team can improve patient outcomes and create a more positive work environment. Two areas I’m passionate about are the necessity of teamwork and the importance of language interpretation in patient care. I’ve witnessed how effective communication can significantly enhance the quality of care and the patient experience in cases where there is a language barrier.
