Henry Mayo nurses speak to interviewers about their careers and what motivates them to excel.

Wendi McBride, RN, CCRN
Gastrointestinal Lab
"A neighbor of mine is now going to nursing school because of all the wonderful things I told her about nursing. I think that nurses, in general, enjoy teaching. If I can teach someone something new about nursing, that makes it more satisfying for me." |

Cecelia Garver, RN
Maternity
"It really does make you feel like we're one big family because we're all here for the same goal, the outcome of a healthy, beautiful baby. The thing I love the most is seeing that miracle when you lay that baby on that mommy's tummy. It leaves you speechless.'' |

Greg Hannah, RN
Telemetry 1
"Working as a nurse is something that you can be proud of, but it's not for everybody. You're doing it for the sole purpose of wanting to help people and making a difference in their life." |

Ginny Chaffee, RN, BSN, MA
Education
"Throughout my career, I've had many different roles in nursing from staff nurse, to director, to clinical educator. What I enjoy most is training nurses, seeing them with a lot of enthusiasm and seeing how that impacts patient care." |

Mark Fairfield, LVN
Float Pool
"Working in all the different units in the hospital, you learn all the aspects of nursing. It keeps your skills up, and allows you to talk to a lot of different patients. To be a good nurse, you have to listen to patients. They know their bodies better than doctors and nurses." |
|

Lorna Julian, RN
Transitional Care Unit
"There was a patient (I took care of) before I became a nurse. She had breast cancer. Before she passed, she said, 'If you decide to be a nurse, you'll be a great one'. Today she would probably have a bright smile on her face and would probably say, 'I told you so.' She was my inspiration." |

Nora Benjamin, RN
Definitive Observation Unit
"I love being a nurse. And I love seeing patients leave the hospital with a smile on their face. It may seem weird, but with every patient, a little bit of you leaves the hospital. There are no words to describe it.'' |
|
|
|
 |
|
Asha Shaw, RN5
Acute Rehabilitation Unit
"It inspires me that the physicians, surgeons, social workers and others come in at any time of the night. It helped me understand it's not just (the nurses) working hard, it's everyone working together.'' |
