Rolando is a veteran healthcare professional; a registered Nurse by profession. He worked the trenches of clinical nursing for almost 16 years. He dodged numerous flying bed pans and exploding rectal tubes. He survived conflicts with omnipotent doctors and horrible managers.

He, however, believes that, despite the severe challenges inherent in the Nursing profession, it is still the best profession in the world. He always states that helping people every day is a very rewarding way of earning a living. While staring at his computer screen in his new job, he still dreams of working as a Nurse with his favorite white scrubs on.
