Hello! Welcome to my ePortfolio. Here are my learning activities that I have gained throughout my journey on the Associates Degree of Nursing Program

# data[].attributes.body
My nursing philosophy is to make an impact in society by continuing to learn and grow in my knowledge of nursing so that I can be properly equipped with the skills to take care of the people in my community. For example,  I want to create a comfortable environment so that my patient knows that my goal is to care for them to the best of my ability.

My goal is to work in an acute setting of a hospital as a registered nurse. Ideally, I would like to focus on the neuroscience unit of a hospital because of my deep interest and curiosity for the physiology of the brain. Also, I always dreamed of having a career that was meaningful and would allow me to care for people.
