Minority Nurse

Being a nurse is a rewarding career that can come with unexpected challenges. COVID-19 has shifted the way nurses traditionally work and brought to the forefront issues such as staff shortages, burnout , and the risk of job-related injuries. Now, the healthcare field is shifting its focus to AI technology as nurses pivot to learn new trends and tools that impact their daily work, all while news of hospital layoffs and nurse unemployment dominate the news cycle.

As a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and immigrant nurse practitioner, my career has been deeply shaped by service to underserved communities, particularly in Queens, New York. Since 2017, I have practiced at Elmhurst Hospital and nearby outpatient clinics, including Queens Pulmonary Medical Care. These settings are lifelines for a richly diverse, immigrant-heavy population that frequently faces disparities in healthcare access, insurance coverage, and health literacy.
