Nurses Week continues at Billings Clinic Bozeman with another incredible member of our team. 💜
Meet Nicole Eastwood, RN from the Surgery Center.
Nicole says she became a nurse because she wanted to help others and was often told she was kind. Today, she brings that compassion and care to patients every single day.
One of her favorite parts of the job on a really good day?
“Successfully starting IVs, especially on hard IV attempts.”
Three words she uses to describe nursing:
Compassionate. Trustworthy. Kind.
And what gets her through a shift?
“LOTS of good teamwork!”
For anyone thinking about becoming a nurse, Nicole says:
“If you are a compassionate, quick-thinking, and empathetic person, it is a rewarding, respected, and stable career!”
One thing she wishes more people knew about nurses?
“To provide quality care, nurses must prioritize their own mental, physical, and emotional health, including taking breaks and finding support.”
Thank you, Nicole, for the care, teamwork, and dedication you bring to Billings Clinic Bozeman every day. 👏
