My Story ...
Lailani Divina BSN, RN
Lailani Ociones-Divina, a BSN graduate of University of Santo Tomas is currently pursuing her MSN from Norwich University. She is an OR Clinical and Operations Supervisor from Baptist Medical Center. She has been a nurse for 28 years with 14 years experience in the perioperative setting from the Philippines, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, and the US.
As a nurse leader, Lailani is inspired by Benjamin Franklin's quote, "Tell me and I forget, teach me and I remember, involve me and I learn." She is looking forward to making a difference in our nursing community through PNASA!
A Nurse's Journey
PASSION: The Secret Ingredient of a Fulfilled Life as a Nurse by Aura Casabar, BSN, RN, CCM
Several years ago, I caught myself watching reruns of Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, a reality cooking show of a very animated, award-winning chef who went around Great Britain, France, and the US attempting to salvage restaurants from the brink of bankruptcy or closure.
