If you ask any nurse about their journey, there’s a good chance they’ll have a story about what sparked their passion for the profession. For some, it’s a defining moment in childhood; for others, it’s a gradual realization over the years. For Karim, his decision to pursue a career in healthcare was influenced by a combination of family, curiosity, and a drive to make a meaningful impact on people’s lives.
This is the story of a nurse who has spent nearly a decade helping others, with a career that took him from Pakistan to the United States. We will dive into his story and explore how Avant Healthcare Professionals played a pivotal role in helping him realize his American dream.
