I've been a nurse for 24 years, most of them in rehabilitation at Los Angeles Children's Hospital in Los Angeles. 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 watch every football match going.
More about Joaquín
I still get cards from families years later. They're pinned to my fridge.

What gifts mean to Joaquín: A gift would go toward blankets and small comforts for patients without family.
