My name is Sarana Alexander and I identify myself as an altruistic, charismatic and empathetic individual. I graduated from Kingsborough Community College in 2009 with an Associate Degree in Applied Science and NYC College of Technology in 2013 with a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing.
My professional career as a Registered Nurse commenced with my position as a Per Diem Nurse for a prestigious Home Care Agency called Home Health Management Services Incorporated. Within a year at this institution, I was promoted to a full time Nurse, a position I still hold. In order to advance my knowledge and skills in areas such as leadership, critical thinking and research I enrolled and graduated from a bachelorette program at New York City College of Technology. Throughout my practice as a nurse I strive to follow the philosophy of Ms. Florence Nightingale because she is my inspiration as I remain dedicated to my profession.
Florence Nightingale said, “Let us be anxious to do well, not for selfish praise but to honor and advance the cause, the work we have taken up. Let us value our training not as it makes us cleverer or superior to others, but inasmuch as it enables us to be more useful and helpful to our fellow creatures, the sick, who most want our help. Let it be our ambition to be good nurses, and never let us be ashamed of the name of ‘nurse’.”
