Meet Laura Berry, NRO, RN
Question: Why did you become a nurse?
A: “I fell in love with caring for people and wanted to be able to help my patients beyond taking care of them. I wanted to be able to be able to advocate for my patients when they felt like their voices weren’t heard. I wanted to be able to treat their pain and their illness. I wanted to help them feel comfortable and safe in an environment that makes people feel so vulnerable. I wanted to make my patients feel loved and valued during their most challenging times of their lives.”
Q: What is your favorite part of being a nurse?
A: “My favorite part of being a nurse is being my patients support system during their most difficult times. I love helping my patients overcome their doubts and fears of the unknown when it comes to their concerns about their health. I love watching my patients faces light up when they reach their goals that they felt were impossible to reach.”
Q: What advice would you give an aspiring nurse?
A: “Never give up on your dreams of becoming a nurse if that is what you want to do! Nursing has humbled me in so many ways and has taught me to never take my health for granted.”
Q: What keeps you motivated during tough shifts?
A: “My motivation during a tough shift is seeing that all my patients made it safely to the end of our day together.”
Q: What has been your best experience at the Hosptial that made you enjoy nursing more?
A: “MY COWORKERS! I love every single one of them. I love how passionate everyone is in their own role that they play here at Liberty. Everyone always comes together for the care of our patients. We advocate for our patients and each other. Our coworkers are my family, and Liberty has always felt like a second home to me. I wouldn’t be who I am today if it wasn’t for all my people here.”
