Every day, I live and breathe my profession. I live to take care of others and to be that helping hand when their loved one is in need. To be the kind words they need and the shoulder to cry on. I love the challenges that my profession gives me on a day-to-day basis. I learn new things every day, not only from my own experiences but also from my patients’ experiences. I know that I make a difference every day, whether big or small, and that means something.

Working at Lexington has been an enriching and fulfilling experience that made me grow in my professional and my personal life. I have worn many hats, and I have made lifelong friends who have made me think past my immediate world and think globally. I get to work with several excellent nurses, talented administrators, therapists, CNAs, and physicians. Lexington has given me the opportunity to learn new things and become a better nurse manager. My opinions are valued, and employee satisfaction is a top priority. It is nice to come home feeling proud of the work I do every day.

Empathy, being grateful, compassion and love. This is what drives me to eagerly come to work to care for our patients. I realize that I have been blessed with good health, cooperative and dedicated colleagues, supportive administrative officials and medical practitioners, as well as loving family and friends. Hence, there is no reason why I should not give our patients the best care that I can provide. With over 20 years of caring for our patients, I have learned that a sincere greeting with a smile, a willing and attentive ear, a watchful eye and working as a team can make all the difference.

I want to stay here for a long time as I like both the staff and patients and there is a family atmosphere for the workers. Patients are sometimes having a difficult time, so put a smile on your face because sometimes they need it. I am passionate about my job and helping people. I want to overwhelm them with kindness, as niceness is contagious.
