This foundational education allowed her to understand the complexities of patient care, disease management, and healthcare systems, setting the stage for a lifelong commitment to health advocacy.
Nursing Career and Experience
As a registered nurse, Betty gained extensive experience working in various healthcare settings, including hospitals, clinics, and community health organizations. She worked with diverse patient populations, providing high-quality care and developing strong relationships with patients and their families. Her expertise included patient assessment, medication administration, wound care, chronic disease management, and patient education.
One of the defining aspects of Betty’s nursing career was her ability to connect with patients on a personal level.

Her compassionate approach made her a trusted advocate for her patients, earning her recognition from colleagues and supervisors.
Transition to Health and Life Coaching
