Personal Statement
As a nurse, I am dedicated to helping people from all walks of life. No matter where you go in the United States, homelessness is a crisis. In Las Vegas, my hometown, I spent several holidays giving out blankets and fresh clothing to people in need through the Salvation Army. While working at the Martin Luther King Jr. Outpatient Center, I tested people for Covid and made it a priority to test the surrounding homeless population. As the homeless population increases, we have limited options when it comes to gauging the increase in communicable diseases because people have become ghosts in the system. For the survival of struggling families and communities, it is imperative we do everything in our power to help those at-risk communities through medical testing, training, and education. Communication along with having a progressive cooperative disposition are key in bringing together healthcare professionals and the greater populous.
