What brought you to nursing?

I always wanted to practice a challenging profession that combines spiritual satisfaction with livelihood and that has value and meaning. I chose to be a nurse out of a feeling of calling and will to help other people in the purest sense of the word.

The study period (in Tel-Aviv University, the extension of Schonbrunn Nursing School, Ichilov) was very significant for me, in which I was exposed to clinical fields and not just to the theoretical framework, which constitutes a

significant advantage in nursing studies, both in terms of the contents and the earning capacity and the ability to be integrated in a nursing position – which helped me fund the cost of my studies.

Over the course of the clinical practice, I have met a professional staff who truly cares about the students, and during this special period I have not only acquired unique tools that serve me today both in my professional life and in my personal life, but also I have gained lifelong friends.

For me, being a nurse is not just a profession, it's a way of life in which I participate in the most meaningful moments in other people's lives: saving lives and providing everyday compassion.

Where are you today?

Today I work as a nurse in the surgical intensive care unit in Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv, and every single day I feel how varied this profession is. There's no dull routine but rather a great challenge accompanied by satisfaction.
