Q&A graphic shows responses from Nicole. Q: What inspired you to become a nurse? A: "My passion for caregiving began when my grandfather was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and Parkinson’s. His passing solidified my commitment to providing compassionate care to those in need." Q: How did you choose to pursue a CNL? A: "As a nurse, I have always been drawn to quality improvement and patient safety. The CNL role stood out to me because it blends direct patient care with system-wide improvements."
