Flavia Lazo has served as a trauma nurse in Broward Health North’s Emergency Department since 2017, a job she finds rewarding because of the difference she makes in people’s lives.
Her primary role is to meet high-acuity trauma patients upon arrival, although she also assists with critically ill patients who come into the Emergency Department. She works with physicians, other nurses and ancillary staff to stabilize them until they are transferred to the appropriate level of care.
“Nursing challenges me every day and allows me to work closely with a wonderful team of dedicated professionals who motivate me to always improve,” Lazo said. “Nursing motivates you to be a constant learner.”
A native of Lima, Peru, she has lived in South Florida since she was 10 years old. She received her bachelor’s degree in nursing from Keiser University.
