๐ Welcome Whitney Barrett, BSN โ Our New Director of Nursing! ๐
We are thrilled to welcome Whitney Barrett, BSN, back to Shepherd of the Valley as our Director of Nursing! ๐ฉบ
Born and raised right here in Casper, Wyoming, Whitney is a proud local with deep roots in our community. Her nursing journey began right at Shepherd of the Valley, where she worked as a CNA while completing her Bachelor of Science in Nursing at the University of Wyoming.
After earning her degree, Whitney became a nurse on our Rapid Recovery Unit, where her leadership skills quickly shone through. She was promoted to Unit Manager, and later served as Interim Director of Nursing before moving out of state in 2018.
Over the next several years, Whitney brought her expertise to Montana and Washington, serving as a Director of Nursing and eventually as a Regional Nurse, overseeing four skilled nursing facilities across Eastern Washington.
But home was calling. Drawn back by family and her Wyoming roots, Whitney returned to Casper and spent a year exploring hospital nursing. It didnโt take long for her to realize that skilled nursing is where her heart truly liesโwhich makes us even more excited that she has rejoined our team at Shepherd of the Valley. โค๏ธโ๐ฅ
Whitney is the proud mom of three daughtersโ11-year-old twins and a 9-year-oldโwho keep her on her toes! In her free time, she enjoys anything outdoors and is happiest being back home in the community she loves. ๐๏ธ
Please join us in giving Whitney a warm welcome back! ๐
