GET TO KNOW YOUR STAFF:
Michele Clarke RN BSN, CHPN
It is with great pleasure to introduce another of our wonderful Case Manager RNs, Michele Clarke.
About 8 yrs ago, Michele and her family wanted to move from her childhood home of San Jose, CA to Reno, NV to provide a yard for their children to play in and to have some work/life balance.
We are so thankful they decided to make that move.
She has 17 yrs of nursing experience ranging from all areas of surgery, Inter-Op, PACU & Pediatric PACU, Urgent Care and years of Hospice Care.
She also has achieved her certification in Hospice and Palliative Care. This is an accomplishment that is not an easy one to obtain. Way to Go, Michele!!
We are so proud of you for completing this victory.
Michele has a wide array of interests outside of nursing which contributes to why she is so well grounded.
She is not just a nurse and family-girl. You may have seen her as an actress, or as a model. She is also an artist working with different mediums including painting, sketching, epoxy works to create some beautiful jewelry and commemorative pieces. Attached are pictures of a few of her pieces.
Of course, her number one passion is her devotion and love for her family but she enjoys self care practices of working out, specifically running, that she states, “keeps me sane”.
When asked, “Why Hospice?”, she answered,
“I love everything about it. I love forming relationships with my patients, the families and my coworkers. I love that hospice provides support for patients and family’s during a very challenging time in their lives, and we can offer them peace and comfort. This is by far my favorite nursing I have ever done and want to continue working in hospice for the rest of my career.”
She provided a lovely answer when asked what was her inner motto:
“Everyone is different and should be cared for with no judgment. All lives deserve loving care, dignity and compassion, no matter where they are in their journey.”
If you meet her someday,
you’ll know why we think she is very special.
