Additional Information

I feel like nursing was the job I was put on earth to do, professionally and otherwise. I get great satisfaction in bring some type of hope, some type of light to the population I take care of. Nursing is a broad subject with many defined and undefined duties. That is why Kindness, patience and love of job are a subliminal mandate I think. I try my very best to include the emotional health in the care that I give.

Sincerely,

Jessica
