Another amazing year to reflect on! This year has been one of my biggest adjustments, but has proven to be very rewarding. I moved to Boston and started my first official nursing job, settling into my career as a registered nurse at Brigham and Women’s hospital on their Neuroscience step down floor. Through this experience, I have been able to develop my own routine as a nurse and settle into my practice. This gives me such a sense of accomplishment because I just continue to reflect on all of the hard work and sleepless nights that it took for me to get to where I am. My hard work got rewarded by being honored with two Daisy Awards from patients I have helped. Since I am also now a city girl, I have tried to enjoy every aspect of living in a city. I have been making lots of friends, exploring all the different restaurants, and just taking in the beautiful views that Boston has to offer. I also noticed that a very common next step while living in the city was to get a dog. So I have spent most of my time training my new Australian Shepherd puppy, Bean. I continue to look forward to my next year as a nurse in a beautiful city. I hope to do a few different continuous education courses that are offered at our hospital so I can work on bettering my practice. I am forever grateful to MVYouth and its donors for allowing me to have these opportunities. I would not be where I am today without their gracious support.
