Featured Role Model
Tiffany Laserna
Tiffany Laserna is from Birmingham and a recent graduate from the University of Alabama. There are many reasons why she loves nursing, one of those reasons is that it gives her an opportunity to make a difference in her community. She approaches nursing with compassion and a willingness to make a difficult situation for her patients, better. Her last year of college has been both challenging and gratifying because she has had to put her classroom knowledge to work in real life situations.
Out of the 3,000,000 registered nurses in the U.S., Hispanics represent only 3.6% even though Hispanics make up 17% of the U.S. population. Many Hispanic students and parents are not aware of the multiple opportunities that exist in the nursing fields.
