What defines a nurse? For years, nursing has been closely tied to the hospital, wearing scrubs and delivering care at the bedside. It is the image many Filipino nurses grow up aspiring to, and one that often defines what it means to stay in the profession.
That definition, however, is beginning to evolve. As healthcare continues to change, new opportunities are opening beyond the hospital, giving nurses new ways to apply their skills while staying grounded in clinical practice. Organizations like Omega Healthcare are part of this shift, creating roles that contribute to patient care on a broader scale.
This shift is reflected in the journey of Everem Loren Zerna Tejada, Deputy Manager in the Service Line Department at Omega Healthcare. After starting in bedside care and building a long career in clinical process outsourcing, she represents a growing number of nurses redefining what it means to practice today.
