Hello welcome to my
eportfolio. I am Gemma Jimenez. I would like to bring you to
the world where I am now by sharing all my works as a nursing
student. I am currently enrolled at La Guardia Community College under
the License Practical Nursing Program. I consider myself as one of the
lucky candidates because only a small number of students are admitted
to the clinical phase. But being in the program needs a
lot of courage , hard work and determination. As Florence
Nightingale stated:
Nursing is an art;
and if it is to be made an art,
it requires as exclusive a devotion,
as hard a preparation,
as any painter's or sculptor's work;
for what is the having to do with
dead canvas or cold marble,
compared with having to do with the
living body - the temple of God's spirit?
It is one of the Fine Arts;
I had almost said
the finest of the Fine Arts.
