About Virginia

What makes me a great caregiver is that I genuinely like to help people who cannot help themselves. As a kids, as a teenager and now as an adult I always found myself in situation where I stood up for those who were to scared or not able to care for and defend themselves. I think another great quality that I have is that I pay attention to every individual in my profession life as well as personal. Its easy for me to learn and acknowledge the likes and dislikes of people which ultimately only helps make it easier to know what someone may want or need. I decided to be a caregiver to gain a more personal experience in the field before going into nursing, which I am currently pursuing. In the meantime I am happy to spend my time helping those who can't help themselves as much as they would like.

Hello! My name is Regan. I am a currently RN student with such a passion and enthusiasm towards the nursing field. I went into the medical field because I have a passion of working with people of all types, backgrounds, and ages. What keeps me motivated is being able to make an impact in people's lives during their most vulnerable times. I love to bring my heart and care to the lives of others. Being involved with my patients is important to me and I want them to know they have someone so passionate about caring for them at their service. I am most proud of the time I've spent in my clinical experience at the hospital being able to spend one on one care with patients and educated and advocate for my patients so I can help them lead better and healthier lives at home.
