Betsy A. Tirado was inspired to become a nurse by the life and passion of her aunt, Betsy M. Tirado Ortiz, according to a profile in the Discovering Nursing newsletter.
"Some of my most vivid memories are of seeing Aunt Betsy at work and how her patients loved and respected her," Tirado said. "I'm proud to say that we now not only share the same birthday and name, but the same profession too!"
Tirado Ortiz's commitment to volunteerism has rubbed off on her niece, who now joins her on the veteran nurse's mission work. Tirado Ortiz herself was inspired to work on medical missions when offered a chance to go to Guatemala with the Healing the Children organization.
Tirado Ortiz recommends volunteerism to all nurses. "Have your passport ready, be open to new experiences, learn a new language and get to know the people and country," she says.
She is a tireless advocate of the nursing profession, according to the article.
"To those considering the nursing profession, go for it! It is the most challenging and rewarding career you could ever have," says Tirado Ortiz.
If challenging and rewarding is just what you're after, perhaps a nursing degree should be your next step.
