Hey! My name is Vivian and I am a L&D nurse and a Women’s Health NP student! I started college as a biology pre-med student, but discovered that wasn’t for me and I switched to nursing, and it was the best choice ever! I have a passion for women’s reproductive health and I always knew I wanted to work with the female population in medicine.
Q: How long have you been working as a nurse?
A: I’ve been a nurse for a little over a year!
Q: What specialty do you currently work in?
A: I work in Labor & Delivery.
Q: What is your favorite part about being a nurse?
A: My favorite part of being a nurse is helping others!
Q: What do you feel is the hardest part about your career?
A: The hardest part is when families lose their baby and helping them through the process.
Q: What does a typical work day look like for you?
A: Every day is different at work but typically I come in and I either have a patient who is in labor already or I’m starting an induction of labor.
Q: How did you know you wanted to become a nurse?
A: I knew I wanted to become a nurse because it aligns with my future personal and professional goals! I want to be able to work in healthcare and help others while still being able to pursue more in nursing.
Q: What were some things you wish before entering nursing school?
A: Before entering nursing school, I wish I knew how important it is to have work experience throughout nursing school and the importance of building relationships and networking with professors, instructors, and nurses and managers in clinical.
Q: What classes do you recommend taking in order to become a nurse?
A: I recommend taking any health or science classes in high school as APs or IB to get college credit!
