Summary

Since I was younger, I knew I wanted to work with babies and make them feel better. Going through nursing school, clinicals were boring because I wasn't with the patients I wanted. I finally got to do my preceptorship in the NICU and I confirmed my dream. I love these babies. It is my passion and my heart and soul is given to every parent, family member, and baby. I will never do anything else because my heart belongs in the NICU taking care of the tiniest, powerful souls.
