Happy ! 💖 Rochelle honors her mom, Vanessa, for inspiring her to become a nurse and serve in the Army.

"This is my Mom! She has been such an amazing role model to me and I look up to her everyday. She was a medic in the Army and when she got out she became a Nurse and has worked bedside for her entire career. She is the reason I will be graduating this May with my BSN from WSU and commissioning into the Army to be an Army Nurse! Thank you for being my biggest supporter and inspiration all in one."
