Frank Baez got his first healthcare experience as a teenager, mopping floors and cleaning patients' rooms as a hospital janitor at NYU. This week, the 29-year-old got his nursing degree from the school after finishing an accelerated 15-month program.
This week, the 29-year-old got his nursing degree from NYU's Rory Meyers College of Nursing, after finishing an accelerated 15-month program."It was a very intense program, I'll tell you that. It was a lot of work," he told CNN."It was worth it, it paid off at the end. Here I am now, a graduated nurse."Baez and his two brothers came to the United States from the Dominican Republic in 2004, when he was 15 years old.
He was the first member of his family to graduate college."I was hoping that I would be able to care for patients in Spanish," he said."I wanted to work with under served populations."Baez barely spoke English when he arrived in the United States, so he knew how important it is to be able to care for people in their own language.After college, he got a job as a unit clerk at NYU Langone Orthopedic Hospital and got to work closely with the nurses there.
