Teresa R. Velasco
10 years in intensive care nursing
- 🇺🇸 Brooklyn, New York, United States
- Brooklyn Children's Hospital
- Since 1985
- English, Spanish
I've been a nurse for 41 years, most of them in intensive care at Brooklyn Children's Hospital in Brooklyn. 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 sing in a choir.
I'm proud of everyone I got to work with.
