About me

I’m a staff nurse. I am married with 2 kids and I love my job at the rehab, meeting different people with different struggles in life. I feel fulfilled every time I can see a patient get better and of course I get depressed when a patient passes away. Such is the job of a nurse. But it is still rewarding and it pays well.

Our hometown is in New York. We transferred to Glendale, West Virginia because my dad was assigned here to another company. He died shortly after a heart attack. Ever since, my mom was the breadwinner of the family working as a teacher. My 3 brothers are also scholars in school, a privilege of my mom, since she has taught for over 10 years now.

I was an academic scholar at the University of Phoenix, since we are 4 in the family and a little hard up. My mother is also a teacher in the university until now.

 I am married with 2 kids, both in grade school. My wife is also a nurse and works in my first workplace, in Beckley. She still works there.

My Work

My first work was at Beckley ARH Hospital. I worked there as a Staff Nurse. I worked at the Emergency Room for a start and assisted the doctors in all operations of the patients, administering their medical needs. It was a good starting job, but since I had many mouths to feed; I am the breadwinner of the family, so I had to find other means of livelihood. Then I found out that there was a job opening for staff nurse at a rehab hospital. I grabbed the opportunity at once.

My second and current job is at Health South Rehab Hospital in 120 -12 street Princeton, West Virginia. Our hospital is a very good rehab center which specializes with different disabilities. We provide high quality care to patients. We have different top of the line and advanced methods and technologies that other rehabs do not offer. We continually strive to the pursuit of excellence and we partner with your family and the patient in order to achieve maximum results with the treatment plans that we will formulate especially designed for each patient.

My duties and responsibilities as a staff nurse is mainly to take care of the over-all welfare of the patient, I not only take care of the patient medically, but I am also tasked to establish a compassionate environment for patients providing emotional, psychological and spiritual support to patients, friend and family.
