“For hospitals that do not have all the specialist physicians, I see this being a great asset. Each day that I work, I see progress in patient care,” she said. “Nursing is more challenging every day. We have better equipment, more technology and better communication than ever.” “When plans were made to build a new hospital, I just could not imagine what working in a different hospital would be like. I carried my grandson to the ground breaking. I wanted him to be a part of such a special day. I couldn't quite grasp the reality of a new hospital. After all, I would be leaving my home. When opening day came, I was filled with emotion. I drove past my old home that morning on my way to the new Polk, and I realized how much this place had meant to me and to so many others in our community. I arrived at the new Polk with much anxiety, but as the morning started, I soon realized this is my new home. I started a new day and began receiving blessings in a new place. “I am so blessed to be able to work in such a beautiful facility that offers healing to every single person who enters the doors. And, when I have walked the ten thousandth step in my shift, I hope to have given comfort to someone and to the people that love them. My goal is to be able to end my shift with a full heart no matter what the challenge has been.”
