About Melanie

I am a 29 year old woman who went into the field of nursing because, as cliche as it sounds, I wanted to help others. Helping others brings me a sense of satisfaction knowing that people are being taken care of the *right* way- with love, empathy, and compassion.. exactly how I would want my family to be treated. I love to educate my patients & like to focus on preventative care- What can YOU do to help yourself? Prior to becoming an RN in the Emergency Room I worked as an aide in the emergency room, was a private home aide, & volunteered as an EMT for both Commack Volunteer Ambulance Corp. and Central Islip Hauppauge Ambulance Corp.

What makes me a great caregiver is my innate emphasis on the virtue and value of empathy. I may be physically strong, however my emotional strength is probably even more immense. I am a resilient, courageous, sensitive, compassionate and kind, which attracts me to the work of being a caregiver. What I enjoy most about this work is that it is heart-based and that I get to actually connect with human beings on a true level, additionally those who have already had plenty of life experience. A personal achievement I am proud of is having become a licensed EMT, whether or not I've pursued it as a career. And also that I am knowledgeable and familiar with complex mental health situations.
