Oh

00:04.740 --> 00:07.340
my name is Alexis Brown . I am a nurse

00:07.340 --> 00:09.673
here at Navy Hall Clinic , Cherry Point .

00:09.673 --> 00:11.618
I actually want to become a doctor

00:11.618 --> 00:13.729
first and then I saw how long it took

00:13.729 --> 00:16.420
to become a doctor . I looked into

00:16.420 --> 00:18.720
other pathways to still be in the

00:18.730 --> 00:21.530
medical field and nursing was one of

00:21.530 --> 00:23.586
the first things that came up always

00:23.586 --> 00:25.641
come to our front dance because that

00:25.641 --> 00:27.808
kind of gives the idea of how busy are

00:27.808 --> 00:29.752
they is being a military nurse . I

00:29.752 --> 00:31.974
think the biggest thing I've learned is

00:31.974 --> 00:34.030
just learning on the fly . I want to

00:34.030 --> 00:36.252
change things up and long one and we'll

00:36.252 --> 00:39.220
help you with your career . I was on

00:39.220 --> 00:41.420
the comfort for a mission to Puerto

00:41.420 --> 00:45.330
rico after hurricane hit and I was

00:45.340 --> 00:48.280
on the I . C . U . Step down

00:48.280 --> 00:52.240
unit . So we saw all of the intubated

00:52.250 --> 00:55.220
and critically ill patients . So it's a

00:55.230 --> 00:59.040
big eye opener helping

00:59.040 --> 01:01.410
people and having someone say oh my

01:01.410 --> 01:04.120
gosh thank you because of you . I felt

01:04.120 --> 01:06.160
like my concerns were hurt .

01:07.640 --> 01:09.584
That's the most satisfying part of

01:09.584 --> 01:13.380
being a nurse . Yeah , nursing has

01:13.380 --> 01:15.830
meant so much to me because it's not

01:15.840 --> 01:19.150
only a job is I feel like who I am

01:19.160 --> 01:22.330
ingrained in me so much about nursing

01:22.330 --> 01:25.990
is the caring , the talking to patients .

01:26.000 --> 01:28.260
It's just been a big part of my life

01:28.260 --> 01:30.050
and I love it .
