Bridgette R.
Tucson, AZ
RN
I was approaching graduation from college when the realization
that I did not have a true passion for the career I had chosen set
in. After accepting a position with a senior management team for a
major retailer, a medical crisis occurred in my family. This
allowed me to closely observe the nursing profession. I was amazed
at the dedication, devotion, and caring these professionals seemed
to possess, and felt instantly drawn to become what my family had
come to call “angels on earth.” In seeking a specialty after nursing school, I was pleasantly
surprised to find out that my passion was medical/surgical nursing.
I know that each an every day I go to work, I will be faced with
new challenges, and that each patient comes to me with a unique
situation I can positively influence. The opportunity to keep learning and become a better nurse
greets me every day as I greet my colleagues and patients. I know I
have touched the lives of both my patients and their families over
the last year, and that I have now become an “angel on earth.”
