About Lorraine

I pride myself with being compassionate, empathetic and professional in my delivery of care to my patients. I always thought about a career in nursing because of the above traits. I also feel I excel in my ability to explain and educate my patients and families in easy to understand terms. One of my proudest moments in my nursing career is receiving the art of caring award from the faculty staff at FMCC. I am especially gifted with patients with cognitive difficulty such as Alzheimers and Dementia.
