Juanita H.
El Dorado, AR
RN, Specialty Surgery/Pediatrics
As a child, I have always wanted to help others. Being a nurse
gave me the opportunity to do that. I am employed at Medical Center
of South Arkansas on the medical-surgical floor. I never know what
I will encounter from one day to the next. However, I absolutely
love patient contact. I treat every patient the way I would want my
parents to be treated. One detail that keeps me going is the
patient’s need for a caring nurse. I get them through the pain, the
day, the healing process, with constantly evolving
technology—machines, more efficient drugs, and patient care—that I
continue to learn. Working on the med-surg floor is a lifelong journey of learning,
because there is always something new to learn, skills to master,
and challenges to be conquered. This is why I consider nursing the
most rewarding profession today.
