❔: How did your career at BCMS start?
I started my career at BCMS about a year ago as a PRN nurse. The atmosphere of care and compassion was so welcoming!

❔: Why did you decide to become a nurse?
When I was younger my Papaw was ill and had numerous hospital stays and doctor visits which eventually led to him being on hemodialysis. His encounters with the nurses always seemed to boost his spirits. They helped make his visits not so dreadful. This inspired me to be a nurse.

❔: What do your day-to-day responsibilities usually look like?
My day-to-day responsibilities are to oversee the clinical aspects of the nursing home as the Director of Nursing. Frank Wells employs exceptional staff trained in short-term and long-term rehab. It is an amazing place to work.

❔: What makes you proud to be a nurse?
The nursing culture as a whole makes me proud. Times like the COVID pandemic were extremely hard times for nursing, but nurses were the ones that continued to show up to take care of their communities.

❔: Why do you like working for BCMS?
The obvious care and concern for the community's health and wellbeing is evident at BCMS. It truly is a wonderful place to work.

❔: What’s one fun fact about yourself?
I love being outside and spending time with my husband and two boys! I am a true crime podcast ju**ie! I listen to them constantly!
