From phlebotomist to surgical coordinator, and many other meaningful positions in between, over the past eighteen years, Rebecca R. has grown an exceptional nursing career at University Hospitals.
For Rebecca, serving the healthcare needs of her local community is essential. “Being able to contribute to the health and well-being of those around me is deeply meaningful,” she said.
Moving from a bedside nurse to a surgical coordinator has enabled Rebecca to grow a range of skills and provide care at many different levels.
“Being a bedside nurse allows me to connect with patients on a deeply human level. I love the hands–on aspect of nursing, and the ability to comfort, advocate for, and care for people during some of their most vulnerable moments,” she shared.
Rebecca has found that she uses more organizational skills in her surgical coordinator role, ensuring that every detail is handled efficiently and effectively. “It’s satisfying to know that behind every successful surgery is careful coordination, patient education, and precise communication between providers, patients and teams,” Rebecca said.
All these nursing experiences have been made possible by UH’s wide range of career growth opportunities. Rebecca’s career mentors have supported and guided every step on her journey. “My leaders maintain an open-door policy and take the time to offer constructive feedback, guidance and mentorship,” she said. “They actively promote ongoing learning by sharing resources, supporting certifications, real-time education and encourage me to attend seminars.”
