Why I Chose Fertility Medicine

I strongly believe that I was meant to work as a fertility nurse.

The story goes back to 1995 in Romania where, after participating in a nursing competition at the hospital I was working for, I received two books as a prize. Both were written in English, one was called NCLEX and and the other was called “IVF- the answer to many patients facing infertility “

I did not understand anything at the time. Went home and put the books aside on a shelf until, few months later I started to translate them.

I was so fascinated by the second book and little by little I started to learn that , something that sounded so science fiction to me, was actually real.

About 10 years later I moved to Canada and ended up needing the NCLEX for my licence exam and got my first job as a fertility nurse at one of the biggest fertility centres in Toronto.

Have been working as fertility nurse since 2007 and loved every minute of it. Being able to be there for patients facing infertility, offering them the support they need, is a huge privilege for me. The road of infertility can be like an uphill battle for many patients and I want to be there to offer a hand when they feel lost, to offer a smile when they feel sad, to offer an answer when they don’t know what to do.
