November 2024 Honoree
Paula Vega, PhD, RN
El cuidar no se trata solo de tratamientos, diagnósticos o técnicas, sino de saber escuchar, y esto lo aprendí gracias al ejemplo de la profesora Paula. Ella encendió en mí algo que me permitió crecer como profesional y ser humano.
Translation:
I would like to nominate Professor Paula Vega. She has always called us to reflect on the humanization of our care. In a nursing field that is becoming increasingly technical, where medical advances seem to challenge the limits of what is possible, it is essential to remember that at the center of everything we do are people, with their own stories, fears, and hopes.
Caring is not only about treatments, diagnoses, or techniques, but about knowing how to listen, and this is something I learned through Professor Paula’s example. She ignited something within me that allowed me to grow as a professional and as a human being.
Thank you, Paula, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
