Luong Nguyen Announced as 2021 Caregiver of The Year Winner for MGA Arizona

MGA Homecare is proud to announce the winners for Caregiver of the Year. These state winners are nominated and selected based on the positive impact they have on the lives of their patients and employees. For the 2021 year, we are celebrating our MGA Arizona winner, Luong Nguyen, LPN!

In the Life of a LPN

Luong’s journey as a LPN first began with the impact his father had on him. “My father was in the healthcare profession himself, and I grew up in a household with emphasis on the healthcare field as a useful career and the necessary life skills.” Since then, Luong has been in the home healthcare field for over 3 years.

He shares that since being a LPN, the few memories that stand out to him the most, have been the satisfaction of seeing his patients graduate from the services they were receiving. As well as the difficult time when his patient passed away while he was there with them. But becoming a LPN has taught Luong that “we have to work with and around our patient’s/client’s family dynamics for the care of both the patient/client and their family”. He says it is important to give the family a respite from the challenges that come with caring for a loved one as well.

Being on the MGA Team

Luong has been a part of MGA Homecare for over 3 years now, after joining the team as a new graduate. He shares that the communication has been wonderful. Whether it’s the choices of patients or where in Arizona he has to work, “the work schedule choices and rearrangements for the need of going back to school” has been very accommodating.

Yet, he enjoys many aspects when it comes to being on the MGA team. “They’re still looking out for my best interest, even when I think I am not.” He is grateful for the fact that he can focus on his own work because he understands that MGA is still there to help and support him when things get busy.

But Luong also enjoys his time outside of MGA Homecare. He is “working on improving and enhancing my nursing education/skills set to further advance my nursing knowledge and care providing abilities.” He also shares that he enjoys the outdoors, participating in a variety of activities such as biking, wall climbing, and visiting restaurants!
