About Kayla

I am a happy and outgoing person and love helping others be the same. My passion for nursing has always been there since I was a little girl and I am still achieving that goal. I love caring for others and knowing I did everything I could to make sure their goals have been met. I hate giving up or not being able to accomplish what I've started because I am always eager in completing a job. I am proud of myself for taking the task on becoming a licensed vocational nurse which is a step into one of my dreams.
