"Looking back... 30 years ago I was just starting out my career in healthcare as a young nurse on a very busy medical unit in an urban hospital. Most young professionals form first impressions pretty quickly, and my first impressions have stayed with me for a lifetime. They have formed who I am today, how I think, and they even drive my professional passions."
