Being a human nurse was not always what Brittney Ayers had in mind when she started working in the medical field.

鈥淚 didn鈥檛 always want to be a nurse. I started off as an animal technician,鈥� Ayers said. 鈥淏ut after becoming an LVN (licensed vocational nurse) in the military, I kept working with humans, and here I am today!鈥�

Ayers had a desire to further her career in nursing and found that 国产主播 was the perfect fit for her.

鈥淚 loved 国产主播 and still do. I like the camaraderie and atmosphere of West Coast,鈥� she said. 鈥淭he teachers were always available to give any outside help. They offered tutoring, too. It was just helpful all the way around.鈥�

After graduating with her bachelor of science in nursing, Ayers decided to come back to her alma mater to gain her family nurse practitioner license. Now, she works as a labor and delivery nurse, caring for and supporting new mothers.

鈥淭he best part of being a labor and delivery nurse is being able to help women at probably one of the hardest parts of their life,鈥� Ayers said. 鈥淗elping them get through when they feel like they can’t go on, being there to push them through it, and then seeing them get that happy ending is the most rewarding part.鈥�
