Featured Role Model
Isanna Curiel
Isanna Curiel is a recent graduate from New York University and loves nursing because it exposes her to different cultures and life experiences. After a few years of working in the banking industry she decided to get a second college degree and pursue a career as a registered nurse. A career in healthcare was her opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives. She recalls a registered nurses making a difference in the care of her father just before he passed. They made a difficult situation, just a little bit more tolerable, something that she will always be grateful for.
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.
