Why should you be an RN at CDS Monarch? Niki, our Director of Nursing, shares what makes CDS Monarch and the people we serve such a great place to work and be a nurse: "With over 30 years of experience as a registered nurse, I can confidently say that working with adults with developmental disabilities has been one of the most meaningful and fulfilling aspects of my career. In this work, I feel most connected, not just as a nurse, but as a human being. Supporting this incredible population allows me to blend clinical skill with compassion, advocacy, and deep empathy. Every day brings a sense of purpose and wholeness that reminds me why I became a nurse in the first place. The resilience, honesty, and spirit of the individuals I serve inspire me constantly and reaffirm my belief in the dignity and worth of every person."
