How Nursing Changed My Life - Sheri Shamsid-Deen




How Nursing Changed My Life


My name is Sheri Shamsid-Deen.  I’ve been a registered nurse for 15years.  There’s a saying by Jay Danzie that I have taken as my personal philosophy when it comes to nursing – “Your smile is your logo, your personality is your business card, how you leave others feeling after having an experience with you is your trademark.”  I’m fortunate to belong to a profession that gives personal and career satisfaction.  As a nurse, I’ve been able to touch the lives of countless people in the community, not only promoting health and wellness but facilitating long-lasting change and perception of overall wellbeing.

How has nursing changed my life?  Nursing has given me purpose.  Through my work, I am able to contribute to the New York community.  As a community health nurse, I am able to educate patients as well as the family and friends of those we serve.  As cliché as it sounds, I feel that being a nurse I am making a difference in the world.  I take great pleasure in knowing at the end of the day I’ve made an impact on the lives of others.  Being a nurse is not a 9-5 but a lifelong journey in which I take great pleasure.
