Ellie Ortega
Caregiver and nurse, Valley View University Hospital
- 🇺🇸 Orlando, Florida, United States
- Valley View University Hospital
- 1980 to 2011
- English
I've been a nurse for 31 years, most of them in midwifery at Valley View University Hospital in Orlando. Night shifts taught me patience, and patients taught me everything else.
The thing I'm proudest of is that families usually remember my name. I volunteer at the food bank on Saturdays.
I never expected anything in return, but a kind word always makes my day.

I still get cards from families years later. They're pinned to my fridge.

What gifts mean to Ellie: I'd put gifts toward a training course in palliative care.
