About Ana

I am a California-licensed Registered Nurse for almost three years now. My 20-year experience, as a Nurse Supervisor, ER nurse, Staff nurse, Private nurse, Nursing theory and clinical educator and NCLEX-RN reviewer, was mostly in the Philippines. I am proficient in English and computer literate. I am a patient person, capable and able to work under pressure whether independently or as a team member. I like writing short stories, poems, reading, solving crossword puzzles, listening to music, watch good movies on Netflix or TV, traveling when schedule allows it, and do volunteer work through organizations (alma mater, community, church). I like taking care of people. It makes me happy to see them happy. My patients were not just other people. I consider them my family who need my care, attention and love. I adjust to what's the best nursing interventions and approach for them. I always put my patient's and mine's safety and well-being first and foremost. Care is individualized. For me, nursing isn't just a job. It's a vocation. Seeing my patient smiles and comfortable is a reward for me. It always makes me proud when my patient or his/her family appreciates my work especially when I received short notes and messages from them telling me " ... We thank you for not only caring for our mother from a medical perspective, but more importantly, loving her in a very personal and heartfelt manner. We are forever grateful to you. May God bless you and keep you safe."

What makes me a great nurse would be my passion for caring for people and putting others before myself. I am very caring and understanding, but also very proficient in my healthcare needs and carrying out orders and tasks provided by the provider. I have always had a passion for the medical field as I have started as a medical assistant in 2012 and have obtained my training and knowledge along the way to obtaining my phlebotomy and becoming a LVN in 2018 and now returning to school for my BSN. I enjoy the feeling of treating and caring and watching the progress of those in my care thrive and get back to their normal selves or become happy and content and grateful to have me. one personal achievement i will be proud of is completing my BSN and obtaining my NP in the future.
