Maggie's introduction to thetinynurse blog starts with:
"My real name is Regina but please call me Maggie! Maggie is actually a nickname I’ve had since literally the day I was born. I can tell you that fun short story later. I am 24-years-old and I am probably one of the shortest people you will virtually meet. I’m 4’9” over here, no, actually down here, and yes, I get the question, “are you tall enough to be a nurse?” from time to time. I just respond, “maybe not, but my license qualifies me to be one!” Patients really get a kick out of that. I grew up in a Filipino household with very Asian parents. I know, I know, following that Filipino stereotype, but what can you do? It’s a great career! I am an avid Target goer, my favorite color is yellow, I am mom to a 16 year old weenie dog, and a coffee enthusiast!"
"My journey to becoming an RN was not an easy one, 'cause
girl, that shit was hard. I graduated from California State University, Long
Beach in 2019 and started my new grad career at the peak of the COVID-19
pandemic. I am a cardiac nurse, which I never thought I would be, but that’s
another story for later. I have been an RN for 3 years now, and although I
still have much to learn, come with me on my journey as I grow as a nurse and
become the best version of myself. Everyone’s experience is different, but I
just want to share my story and advice and guide those seeking help and
comfort."
