All the way from a tiny spot in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Clinical Assistant Professor Monica Vasquez, originally from Guam, is also the Coordinator of the Family Nurse Practitioner program at the University of Texas at El Paso. Mrs. Vasquez always showed an interest in healthcare from a very young age and grew up surrounded by her father who was involved in the field. She is visiting the studio of We Are UT El Paso to tell us her life story, influences and how being a Family Nurse Practitioner works in El Paso and surrounding areas.

In 2008, Professor Vasquez published manuscripts titled Preventing Rehospitalization through Effective Home Health Nursing Care and Down to the Fundamentals of Telehealth and Home Healthcare Nursing.
