Follow your gut, don't discriminate as everyone has there own story and you don't know everything about them. Provide each and every patient with excellent care. Always look for ways to learn and improve. Don't be afraid to ask for help if you are unfamiliar with something, it's better to ask and do it right then end up with a bad outcome. Keep growing and follow your heart. Be a teamplayer and go above and beyond with everything you do. BE AN EXCELLENT NURSE!!!
