00:00.740 --> 00:03.570
um when I was About 12 years old , my

00:03.570 --> 00:06.010
father had a car accident And he

00:06.010 --> 00:08.360
actually broke c . five and C6 in his

00:08.360 --> 00:11.200
neck . So he's been wheelchair bound

00:11.210 --> 00:12.050
ever since .

00:14.240 --> 00:16.050
And you know through those

00:16.050 --> 00:18.650
hospitalizations . It was the nurses

00:18.650 --> 00:21.390
who took care of him , made sure he ate ,

00:21.570 --> 00:24.450
you know wiped his face clean . You

00:24.450 --> 00:26.561
know make sure you got a bath through

00:26.561 --> 00:28.506
all that because these are all the

00:28.506 --> 00:30.672
things that he couldn't do for himself

00:30.672 --> 00:34.310
anymore . It became more of I guess

00:34.310 --> 00:37.040
comfort having nurses take care of him

00:37.040 --> 00:39.262
getting to see that because you sleep a

00:39.262 --> 00:41.429
lot easier at night when you know that

00:41.429 --> 00:43.540
there's someone there who cares and I

00:43.540 --> 00:45.540
guess it came from there and I just

00:45.540 --> 00:47.651
wanted to be able to provide the same

00:47.651 --> 00:49.707
thing to not only the patient but to

00:49.707 --> 00:52.650
their families . If I can get you to

00:52.660 --> 00:56.610
crack a smile or laugh , I feel

00:56.610 --> 01:00.160
like that's the part of my job that I

01:00.160 --> 01:02.540
enjoy . I personally think that that's

01:02.540 --> 01:06.080
the best part um of my job . Not just

01:06.090 --> 01:09.570
providing the the care physically but

01:09.570 --> 01:12.600
any emotional or mental support I can

01:12.600 --> 01:15.780
provide . We're currently in Oklahoma

01:15.780 --> 01:18.870
City Oklahoma . We're here to support

01:18.870 --> 01:20.703
fema . We're here to support our

01:20.703 --> 01:24.330
partners at Integris and really to

01:24.340 --> 01:26.451
provide any extra support and provide

01:26.451 --> 01:28.562
that extra support wherever they need

01:28.562 --> 01:30.729
us in the hospital . Whether it's as a

01:30.729 --> 01:33.180
registered nurse if it's as a nurse

01:33.180 --> 01:35.124
tech . I mean if they told me they

01:35.124 --> 01:37.140
needed me to mop floors and pick up

01:37.410 --> 01:39.577
linen if that's what they need in that

01:39.577 --> 01:41.150
moment , that's where you're going
