Introduction:   

Hello everyone,

My name is Mauricio Pereyra and I was born and raised in Uruguay, been living in Florida for 17 years now. I have been a nurse for 6 years, 2 of those years I spent travel nursing. Currently I work as a charge nurse in a CDU, but at times I work down in the ER.  A fun fact about myself is that I have a twin brother who is also a nurse, and a sister who is a nursing director. I am looking forward to this class, to be able to keep working toward my goal.
