I'm Dierdra. I've been working as a nurse at the local hospital for nearly five years now. Before that, I studied nursing and worked in several other hospitals around the country. My friends would say I have a lot of patience with my patients. They're right! It's rewarding to help people heal and get back on their feet after an illness or injury.

I've always been drawn to helping others, even as a kid. There was something about being able to make a real difference in someone's life that appealed to me. My parents encouraged me to pursue my passion for nursing when I was younger, and they're the ones who helped me pay for college so I could become a nurse.

When I'm not working at the hospital, you can find me volunteering or spending time with my family. They're really important to me, and it's always great to be able to spend time with them. But most of all, I love making people smile. There's nothing quite like seeing someone who was feeling down get a little bit happier after talking with me. It's amazing how something as simple as listening can make such a big difference!
