I interviewed Ms. Noemi Virola. I decided to post the recording that way you can hear exactly what she had to say because I think Ms. Noemi said a lot of great things that I would probably ruin with my interpretation. She is currently employed by Sentara at their Heart Hospital in Norfolk General as a Nursing Care Partner. Ms. Noemi has a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing and worked as a Registered Nurse in Puerto Rico for several years.

When moving to Virginia, she did not know how to speak or understand any English and had not taken the NCLEX because it is not a requirement to practice Nursing in Puerto Rico. Ms. Noemi had to in a way, relearn Nursing, but in English. She is now in the process of preparing to take her NCLEX and get her English certification, so she can start working as a Registered Nurse. I have known Ms. Noemi Virola for a few years and I am extremely grateful that she allowed to me to conduct an interview with her. She has played a role in my inspiration and motivation to be a nurse, so I hope you enjoy listening to what she has to say.
