  As part of our interview series on Women entrepreneurs, we got an opportunity to interview Shriya Boppana. Shriya is an Indian American pageant queen and activist. Crowned the first South Indian Miss India America, Shriya has gone on to create a buzz in the social media scene through collaborations with Bobbi Brown, Amazon, Bumble, Handshake, Adobe, etc. She currently sits on the board of her company, Liveplex, as a content producer and designer while juggling a full-time consulting career. Here is her story in her own words. 1. What does success mean to you?  Success to me is being better than who I was yesterday. Having grown in the last week, month, or year and setting new goals, targets, or dreams is important to me.

With that in mind, here are some ideas to help you choose a nursing specialty.

To ensure an excellent patient experience, you must first know what underlies patient satisfaction. What factors influence the patient’s level of happiness with the service provided?
