About Nana

I pride myself on my work ethic and ability to adapt to a fast pace work setting. I truly believe in being a reliable patient advocate. I understand how hard life can be and I'm willing to help my patients maintain a quality of life that is properly medically treated. My family is full of nurses and growing up I saw the growing need for nursing was great. It was a profession that actually could create a wonderful change in a patients life. I wanted to be a part of that positive change. When I'm able to change the outlook of a patient to a more positive approach, it makes the job extremely rewarding. My ability to do my job effectively and cautiously.
