What do you do?
Well, I work as an emergency nurse at Asan Medical Center here in Seoul. I have a very demanding job as I’m one of the very first nurses who respond to life-threatening situations. As much as possible, nurses who are in this field should be alert and can surely work under pressure, as they need to save their patients from the possibility of long-term disability or worse, death.

What is the most interesting thing about your work?
Well, the fact that I’m on the frontline to respond to medical emergencies is what makes my job fascinating and rewarding.
