Dave Dacaynos

I am a 20 year old New-Grad Registered Nurse. I've always wanted to work in the healthcare field, even when I was young. My mom is the person who inspired me to choose nursing. I love learing, and I feel that nursing is a perfect place to continue my knowledge of healthcare while providing comfort, safety, and life-saving interventions to people in need.
