'I enjoy being a part of a care team that helps patients from the moment they get here until they are discharged home,' he said.
John M. O'Connor While he was a student at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Jimmy Huynh did a little bit of everything before pursuing nursing.“I think what really attracted me to nursing was the direct patient care,” Huynh said. “I enjoy being a part of a care team that helps patients from the moment they get here until they are discharged home.”
As a registered nurse, Huynh’s day starts at 6:30 a.m. with assignments. Afterward, Huynh begins to go in to patient rooms to do a bedside report and review the care plan for the day with that patient. He said the key to his job is making sure family members are involved in the care. Huynh graduated from UAB and with a bachelor’s degree in biology. After graduation, he wasn’t sure which direction he wanted to go in and decided to pursue a career in healthcare. From there, Huynh moved back to Dothan. He found work as a patient care technician before eventually becoming a registered nurse.
