Hi, my name is Leo and I work for DeVito

NOTE Confidence: 0.8785991072654724

00:00:02.960 --> 00:00:04.520
in Corpus Christi, TX.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9271485209465027

00:00:04.920 --> 00:00:06.921
I have been with the village for the past 16

NOTE Confidence: 0.9271485209465027

00:00:06.967 --> 00:00:07.240
years.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9270929098129272

00:00:07.560 --> 00:00:10.229
For 13 of those years I was a Patient Care

NOTE Confidence: 0.9270929098129272

00:00:10.292 --> 00:00:14.041
technician where I became my clinic's preceptor, but I felt

NOTE Confidence: 0.9270929098129272

00:00:14.105 --> 00:00:15.440
a little unfulfilled.

NOTE Confidence: 0.960498571395874

00:00:15.440 --> 00:00:17.627
I felt like I could do more for my patients

NOTE Confidence: 0.960498571395874

00:00:17.678 --> 00:00:19.866
and more for the clinic, so I decided to go

NOTE Confidence: 0.960498571395874

00:00:19.916 --> 00:00:20.679
back to school.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9303494095802307

00:00:20.840 --> 00:00:22.856
It was probably one of the hardest things I've ever

NOTE Confidence: 0.9303494095802307

00:00:22.896 --> 00:00:24.319
done, but one of the most rewarding.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8553276062011719

00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:27.939
I graduated with honors in the top of my class

NOTE Confidence: 0.8553276062011719

00:00:28.003 --> 00:00:31.177
and passed the NCLEX and decided to stay with the

NOTE Confidence: 0.8553276062011719

00:00:31.241 --> 00:00:31.760
village.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9167920351028442

00:00:32.360 --> 00:00:36.106
I really enjoy the culture that DaVita has created here,

NOTE Confidence: 0.9167920351028442

00:00:36.173 --> 00:00:39.720
the sense of belonging and the sense of togetherness.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8761042356491089

00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:44.230
Since becoming a nurse, I have become my clinic's clinical

00:00:44.290 --> 00:00:45.000
coordinator.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8385529518127441

00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:49.000
I've shed tears with patients and shared in their successes.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9283589124679565

00:00:49.040 --> 00:00:52.851
Personally, I was a Shining Star recipient and a Daisy

NOTE Confidence: 0.9050107002258301

00:01:02.080 --> 00:01:05.460
I think my commitment to patient care and to creating

NOTE Confidence: 0.9050107002258301

00:01:05.523 --> 00:01:09.286
those connections with patients really led to me becoming a

00:01:09.350 --> 00:01:11.200
Daisy Award winner recipient.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9522643089294434

00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:15.093
I enjoy going out to the floor, talking to patients,

NOTE Confidence: 0.9522643089294434

00:01:15.145 --> 00:01:16.439
learning more about them.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9329952001571655

00:01:16.440 --> 00:01:20.366
Personally, the patients and the staff have become part of

00:01:20.433 --> 00:01:21.720
my extended family.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8424360752105713
