Henry Mayo nurses speak to interviewers about their careers and what motivates them to excel.
 |
|
Megan Bosworth, RN
Maternity
"The whole reason I got into nursing is because when I was younger, a girlfriend delivered a baby when she was sixteen. I just saw how the nurses comforted her, took care of her and made her feel so special. I knew that's what I wanted to do." |

Felicia Lupu, RN 5
Medical Surgical Unit 4
"Entering the nursing profession has been the greatest journey. At the beginning of my career, I was really innocent. I didn't know about all of the suffering in the world and since have learned that some illnesses don't get cured. Now as a nurse, I know the greatest contribution I can make is to help patients feel better." |

Sandra Bjornstad, RN5
Medical Surgical Unit 3
"I think nursing is the greatest profession. The best part is after you've taken care of a patient and then taken a few days off, when you walk back into that patient's room and they hold their hand out and say, 'I'm glad you're here.' You know they feel safe and comfortable with our care. That really tugs at your heart." |

Tina Gluzman, RN
Medical Surgical Unit 3
"In being a nurse, you want to stress the importance of educating your patient and having them involved in their own care. It helps in the recovery and allows you to experience the personal satisfaction of being able to successfully get them back to their optimal level of wellness." |

Taylor Towne, RN
Medical Surgical Unit 4
"Susan Melia was a nursing director who helped me get my foot in the door. She gave me a job at a health clinic as a medical secretary, and as I watched her, she taught me the truth behind compassion. She truly cared for her patients, and even when she was inundated with patients, she took extra time to be with each of them." |

Renee Battaglia, RN
Definitive Observation Unit
"I still think about one of my nursing school instructors, Doris Kelly. She was a living example of what a nurse should be: kind, a good listener and always had encouraging words to say. She taught me how to give my first injection and how gentle hands can make all the difference. I always remember that and keep all her lessons with me." |

Donna Danner, RN
Transitional Care Unit
"You have to look at your patients as a whole person, not just that they need medicine. You start learning what the real work is. It's taking care of their emotional needs. I've learned a lot about doing that instead of just pushing a pill.''

Hannah Lee, RN
Acute Rehabilitation Unit
"We often get tough patients, many with psychological problems, but my philosophy is no matter what kind of behavior is shown, I respect each patient and treat them like a VIP. I inform them what we're doing and educate them on why they should continue their treatments and medication." |
