Nina Ng
MSN, RN, Assistant Director, Nursing • Northwell Health Syosset Hospital, Syosset, New York, USANina Ng’s background as an emergency room nurse and hospital administrator has prepared her well for myriad different clinical and life situations.
One case in particular was when Nina joined a team in 2017 to go to Iraq during the war to care for trauma victims. Her skillset allowed her to toggle from direct care of the wounded, to managing patient flows and clinical staff.
Prior to, and up until, this time, (from 2012 to 2018), Nina volunteered in a nursing capacity for several medical missions with Heart to Heart, International, throughout various clinics, and sometimes orphanages, she obviously caught the ‘volunteer mission bug!’ She would return to Iraq during the infamous Battle for Mosul, not only as a nurse, but leveraging the coordination and management skills learned from previous missions. Nina returned to Iraq yet again with NYC Medics to assist in de-briefing volunteers post deployment. This led to her podcast release on “Extraordinary Stories: Wellness in War Zones” on the “Head-To-Toe” podcast.
Nina also complemented her mission trips with some fascinating speaking engagements!
For example, Nina traveled to Dubai, UAE, in April of 2018 to deliver an oral presentation at “International Conference & Expo: Nursing & Healthcare” by Cognizance Scientific on “A Nurse’s Role in Iraq during the Battle for Mosul.”
In June of the same year, she traveled to Copenhagen, Denmark, to deliver another presentation at the “World Congress on Nursing and Healthcare” by Cenetri Publishing Group titled, “Nurse’s Role in Iraq during the Battle for Mosul.”
One case in particular was when Nina joined a team in 2017 to go to Iraq during the war and care for trauma victims. Her skillset allowed her to toggle from direct care of the wounded, to managing patient flows and clinical staff.
But Nina couldn’t go too long without another mission trip – in September of 2018 Nina traveled to Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, to volunteer with NGO MedGlobal for two weeks as a clinical nurse taking care of Rohingya and Bangladeshi patients in the refugee camps.
Nina’s skills can be adapted and transferred as often as her heart feels the need. Nina believes a nurse’s possibilities, when coupled with humanitarian aid, are endless. One needs only to get out of oneself to make a true difference.
