ealth Nurse...
Because healthcare is constantly
changi
trying new things. I love the aut
ono
ng there is never a dull moment.
I am constantly learning and
my that my job offers and the tea
mwork of my colleagues.
Radiology nursing is very intere
sting, exciting, and allows nurses
to use their critical thinking skills.
I
take pride in my career and love
helping and advocating for patien
ts.
Future plans...My career and per
sonal life is leading me down the
path of advocacy. Healthcare is
constantly changing to a climate
of patient safety and satisfaction
for which I have a passion.
Personally, I have 2 children wit
h disabilities that have been very
challenging. My plan is to be an
advocate for those with disabiliti
es and their families.
Why I got into nursing...As a
child I was intrigued about nursin
g-always reading books on
nursing-ie; Clara Burton and Flo
rence Nightingale. When I was a
junior in high school trying to
decide what career choice I wante
d, I had several family members
become ill and die. I felt helpless.
It
was at that time that I decided to
become a nurse.
Special projects/committees: Started patient safety committee and act as resource
regarding patient safety in Radiology. Member of Nursing Safety Committee. Certificate
in Patient Safety through University of Rochester. Developed and currently teach a
central line Associate Bloodstream Infection Initiative, Publish PICC/VAD for FLH.

ly basis because of the positive imp
act we have on
the community. We are reminded
that everyone we care for is connec

else in a very meaningful way. The
y are someone’s family member,
a teacher, a
soldier, a doctor, a clergy, someon
e’s child that deserves the best me

possible. Nothing less is acceptabl

to work on this
unit. I enjoy Mental Health nursin

I have never worked with such wo

as I do now.
Future Plans...I hope to eventually obtain

Why we love being Finger La
kes Health Nurses...
Relationship Based Care is our pro
fessional practice model.
Interventional Radiology’s philosop
hy of clinical care emphasizes qu
ality, safety,
interdisciplinary collaboration of
care and professional accountabil
ity.
Nurses are empowered to particip
ate in the clinical decision makin
g as it pertains
to many of the facets of patient car
e.
Interventional Radiology...
Teamwork and communication
is a daily
necessity starting with an interd
isciplinary report, discussion of
cases in the
morning and culminating at the
end of the day.
The attitude of “We’re in it togeth
er” is practiced daily.
