Henry Mayo nurses speak to interviewers about their careers and what motivates them to excel.
 |
|
Joe Greene, RN, MICN
Emergency Department
"I didn't become a nurse until later in life after realizing that this was my true calling. It's everything I thought it would be and then some. It's so rewarding for me to live in the community and take care of my own neighbors. It's wonderful to save a life." |
|
|
|
 |
|
Amanda Moncibais, RN, LVN
Telemetry 1
"Quality care is about caring about your patients and having a gentle way of dealing with them." |
|
|
|
 |
|
Daljinder Singh, RN, CCRN
Intensive Care Unit
"To be a good nurse, you have to have compassion and commitment. I want to make sure that I take good care of my patients and that they know they're in good hands." |
|
|
|
 |
|
Kyle Johnson, RN,
Behavioral Health Unit
"The greatest life lesson as a nurse is taking care of the basic needs of every human — the simplest things that we do for a patient that they can't do for themselves." |
|
|
|
 |
|
Marie Augustin, LVN
Telemetry 2
"When you see patients going through a stage in their lives, you become part of their experience. That's when it becomes more than a job, it's saving lives and it's very rewarding for me to be part of that." |
|
|
|
 |
|
Marianne Landin, RN
Telemetry 2
"An anesthesiologist at Loma Linda played a role in my professional development. He was a not only a fabulous doctor but a wonderful person. He was very compassionate to everyone. Knowing him has helped me treat people with more understanding and compassion." |
|

|
 |
|
Jung Kim, RN
Intensive Care Unit
"I love my patients, and I love my job. One of the best compliments I ever received was when one of my co-workers said, If I were sick, I'd want you to be my nurse." |
|
|
|
 |
|
Valerie Carmean, RN, MICN
Emergency Department
"I would describe quality care as talking a lot with your patients, listening to them, being honest and keeping them informed on what's going on. It's all about having compassion and being genuinely concerned when they tell you their worries." |
|
|
|
 |
|
Marsha Martin, RN
Behavioral Health Unit
"Nursing is a tough field, but it does have its rewards. I remember a patient called and said she was feeling suicidal. I talked to her for quite a while and encouraged her to come to the hospital. She came to our unit and told me, "I'll never forget you - you saved my life." |
