Vargas is honored and humbled to be representing JPS in receiving this distinction. It is easy to get discouraged in today's healthcare environment, but remember to just work hard at keeping your life in balance, give others an empathetic ear and treat others like you would like to be treated. She chose nursing as a way to help others and to be an advocate for the mentally ill. She was drawn to JPS because of the Partial Hospitalization Program. She is pleased and humbled by the honor of being selected as a Top 100 Nurse for 2001.
Nurses are on the forefront to be advocates, educators and practitioners.
Nurses are to be commended and valued. By the time she was five years old she had decided she wanted to be like her godmother who was a practicing nurse, and Steng never even considered another career. Steng works in the JPS School of Vocational Nursing and has been with JPS for more than 11 years. JPS She enjoys being surrounded by a highly skilled professional staff that does not hesitate to share their knowledge, experience and foster an environment that stimulates learning. There are many nurses in our network that are worthy of this recognition, and I am humbled and honored to represent them.
