A: <\/strong>I have been working at Flushing Hospital for almost four years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q:\u00a0On which unit do you currently work? A:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0 The Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q:\u00a0Why did you want to become a nurse? A:\u00a0 <\/strong>Nursing is a profession that is filled with passion, kindness and respect. My father always taught me, life is not only about money and possessions, but to have a kind heart and be a positive influence in society. I dedicate this to him because he is the reason I became a nurse. He taught me that it\u2019s never wrong to help someone in need, there is no such thing as doing too many good deeds. When a patient and their family are going through their toughest times and obstacles in life, nurses are at the front line. To me, this is not only a job but a way to make a difference in people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q<\/strong>:\u00a0<strong>What is the best part of your job? A:<\/strong> Knowing that I can make a difference and be there for patients when they need it the most. Being able to bring a sense of peace and comfort during difficult times. I love to hear stories from my patients and families. I can\u2019t imagine doing anything else. When I go home each day, I feel accomplished knowing I did as much as I could for my patients and their families. It is truly an amazing profession.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer\">All content of this newsletter is intended for general information purposes only and is not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
