Question: Why did you become a nurse?
A: “I went to nursing school while working as a paramedic because I wanted to be able to participate in my patients care past the initial time of injury/onset. It is rewarding to be able to enter somebody’s home and help them while they are most vulnerable but there is something really special about seeing them improve and then eventually go home.”
Q: What is your favorite part of being a nurse?
A: “My favorite part of being a nurse is the comradery of night shift in the Emergency Department. No matter how busy the department or how critical the situation somebody from our team is always there to help you out.”
Q: What advice would you give an aspiring nurse?
A: “Nursing school seems overwhelming while you are in it, but it is just a small blip in time. Do not expect to know everything about nursing when you finish school and never stop trying to learn more. I learn something new about nursing care every single day.”
Q: What keeps you motivated during tough shifts?
A: “The people I work with keep me motivated during a tough shift. Helpful nurses, funny rad techs, witty respiratory therapists, and sassy doctors all make the hard shifts lighter for me. I try to remember that if my night is hard most likely everybody is having a hard night.”
Q: What has been your best experience at the Hosptial that made you enjoy nursing more?
A: “My favorite experience has been watching new nurses go from being terrified to do minor skills to running the most critical situations with confidence. It is really fun to tag team with these nurses or divide and conquer on wild shifts in the ED.”
