She decided to pursue her dream after the encouragement of a resource nurse who recognized her potential. “It was like everyone was waiting for Loretta to finish school. I did it,” Loretta said.
“I said to myself, ‘It would be a great example.’ I love people so I’ve always wanted to nurse or take care of people,” she added.
Loretta stated that her compassionate nature and lively personality left a lasting impression on Heather Jackson, a travel nurse, who extended her contract to become her preceptor nurse.

“If there’s something that needs to be done, she’s going to do it. Loretta’s going to make sure that you’re clean, that you’re fed, that you’re taken care of, and she will sit and talk to you too. Loretta doesn’t just come in and blow through your room,” Jackson said.
She mentioned that her journey to becoming a registered nurse was challenging, but she is thankful for the support she received from everyone.
