My First Six-Months Leadership Trial - Long Maricel

In this inspiring book, Maricel Long shares her journey through the challenges and triumphs of her first six months in a leadership role at the largest psychiatric hospital in Western Washington. Raised in the countryside of the Philippines where English wasn't spoken at home, Maricel overcame significant obstacles to pursue a master's degree in nursing from the University of Washington.

With over 10 years of experience as a psychiatric nurse, Maricel's leadership journey is shaped by her late husband, a U.S. Army veteran. A widow, a mother, a daughter, and a Registered Nurse in Washington State, her story is a testament to perseverance and dedication.

This book is not only an autobiography but a valuable resource for international students seeking to pursue education in America.
