Transcript

I chose nursing out of sheer coincidence, and that's not a typical answer, it's usually because I love caring for people, which I do, but I really was undecided going into college. Started out with some prerequisites and had to go and get a job. And I did, as a CNA, in a long-term care facility, and absolutely fell in love with taking care of people and getting to know the residents. So I quickly went to my advisor and told him I thought I wanted to be a nurse. And so I quickly changed my career path. And so sometimes I think the career chose me, the path chose me, and I've been blessed in it ever since. And what drove me to Mercy was in 2003, they had a wonderful fellowship program that has only grown today. So lots of different opportunities that Mercy provided, you know, different career paths, different opportunities, even at the bedside, or they were doing the electronic charting was coming along, and so just many different things that were available at Mercy. And then ultimately when I shadowed, just the sheer culture. It just was a different presence of people, and you could just tell that the environment was one of teamwork and where people just really enjoyed going every day to take care of people and do their work.
