Nursing is my calling. I truly believe it’s what I was born to do. I’ve come full circle: I started as a nursing student myself at Adelphi and now I teach nursing here. It’s been an amazing journey. I learn from my students how to be a better professional and I feel honored every day to have the opportunity to shape the next generation of nurses.
