Your Favorite thing about healthcare: What I enjoy most about healthcare is the gift provided of serving others, no matter the circumstance, no matter the challenge, Healthcare provides a unique opportunity to serve those in need. An opportunity to not only be a colleague but become a family member to a patient who may feel alone during this moment. Yes, Even as an EVS aide we become someone's family member and have the ability to touch someone's heart by the service we provide, the pleasantry of our nature, a gentle smile that reminds other that they belong. To choose healthcare is to choose an environment that will challenge you and help you grow ( I am an advent student, Studying best practice in infection prevention, environment of care and servant leadership). Opportunities are endless with a heart of passion and determination.
