Driven. Determined. Focused. Those three words define the work and the professional journey of Souvenise Peralte. It’s a career born out of a passion for taking care of others.

A nurse at Nassau University Medical Center for more than a decade, Souvenise currently works the night shift in the hospital’s Psychiatric Emergency Room where she is a mentor for new nurses. She often volunteers to work extra shifts. Souvenise’s hard work and determination is recognized and appreciated by those around her, especially her co-workers and leaders, who value her dependability. Her manager and director have realized the extent of her contributions to new nurses and are grateful for her willingness to go above and beyond to support her colleagues.

Souvenise has long believed in the importance of demonstrating the value of hard work, dedication, and education to her son. Those beliefs and her drive for success shine through in the high professional standards with which she performs her duties, and advocates from those around her.

She emigrated from Haiti to pursue her dream of becoming a nurse in the United States and was accepted into Adelphi University’s nursing program, where she attended school while working full-time at a nursing home and raising her son as a single parent. After graduating from Adelphi and passing the NCLEX-RN, Souvenise began working at Long Beach Medical Center before joining the team at NUMC.
