Summary
After taking time off to homeschool my children, I am filled with excitement as I embark on a new journey in labor and delivery nursing. My own experiences as a parent have profoundly shaped my desire to support families during one of the most beautiful and transformative moments of their lives. Witnessing the miracle of new life has ignited a deep passion within me to use my nursing degree in this meaningful field. Although I am new to this specialty, I am eager to learn and grow, and I am wholeheartedly committed to providing compassionate care that prioritizes the health and well-being of both mothers and infants. I look forward to making a positive impact in the lives of families as I begin this rewarding chapter in my nursing career.
