How was my story inspired, and why did I want to become a Family Nurse Practitioner? It’s a simple answer; my brother. Patrick Michael Dugal, was born in 1985 with Sanfilippo Syndrome. In short, it is a debilitating disease that left my brother without the ability to walk, talk, and eventually unable to see. Throughout all of this, he remained strong and determined, and you would rarely find him without a smile on his face. His courageous self impacted me in such a way that I will never be able to see the world again without looking through a compassionate empathetic lens.
What inspired my decision? Literally a dream and a prayer.
My History? I served in the United States Navy as an Avionics Electronics Technician from 2004 until 2009. I traveled the country, and repaired radar equipment on the P3 Orion. This is where my little dream started. I knew that my discharge date was approaching, and my future was still unclear.
I prayed one night asking God for direction, and asked him to show me what my purpose was in life. That night I dreamt the most vivid dream I have ever had in my life. There was a large body of water, and on one side of the water my brother was lying on the beach sand, and on the other- was me. I realized that the water was encroaching onto the beach where my brother lie unable to move or walk. I realized in that moment that I needed to cross the water, and do whatever it took to rescue my brother. I walked across the water, fearless as I could be filled with adrenaline, and picked him up and carried him back over my shoulders as the water nearly reached my chin. I made it to the other side where suddenly a rescue team and an ambulance stood waiting. This is actually the moment I knew that I was destined to help others (there was ZERO doubt), and I knew that I was going to become a Nurse (which I finally did in 2011)!
I worked as a Registered Nurse in Oncology where I found a true passion. I administered chemotherapy and biotherapy, and met some of the amazing human beings I have ever known. While there I founded a crochet support group where we would make over 1000 Hats a YEAR! Five years later I found myself on the graduating end of a Masters in Nursing, and a Family Nurse Practitioner Certification.
Now in Primary Care, my dream has finally become fulfilled. I love working daily with each and everyone of my patients, and I look forward to coming in to see them every single day. My goal in life is to hopefully leave an impact on any one individual person, and maybe even help somebody change their life for the better. I believe that the body, mind, and soul are crucial in coming together to support a patient’s overall wellness and health (and I want to be there for that person when they are able to reach their own goals and dreams in life!)
