I first got interested in healthcare at the age of 14 by taking care of my late aunt. She was a type 1 diabetic that ultimately lead to skin issues and blindness. She told me Shirley you should be a nurse. It sparked the idea. From that time on I found people in the community that needed a little help to make their daily lives easier or better they would say. Later, I put myself through collage and obtained my Bachelorsrs degree in Nursing. I got a job in the Critical Unit. Unfortunately, COVID hit, overwhelming our unit as well as the rest of the hospital(s). At that time, I put passing my certification test on the backburner because I felt the need to be on the floor doing what I could do to help. I didn't pass my test in time and so I was demoted to a patient care tech. I am still working in the CCU as a PCT. I miss my home healthcare personal job as it allows me to connect and do something for people in my community that need help. I enjoy conversations and proving holistic care. Knowing that I am passionate about making sure my clients are comfortable and happy is rewarding and makes my heart happy. My biggest accomplishment was raising my two children while putting myself through collage as a nurse.
