Platinum Level
What a great opportunity for me to honor my mentors! Mrs. Mazie Whalen provided me with knowledgeable advice and career support. I’ve known Mazie for all 37 of my nursing years. She was my mentor when I was “fresh” in my career and the Assistant Director of Nursing when I started in 1987. Mrs. Whalen has always been an educator and took pride in ensuring new nurses are well-equipped to perform their duties. This included every aspect of patient assessments, nursing uniforms, hair, nails, and jewelry. She was instrumental in department cross-training and problem-solving. She has truly earned every promotion and honor she has received, even to the level of Hospital CEO.

Thank you, Mrs. Mazie Whalen, for your incredible contributions, unwavering support, and wisdom. You have inspired me, and I am so grateful for everything you have done. Thanks for guiding me down the right path. You are a fantastic nurse mentor worthy of emulation. You deserve a big thank you from me! One of the most resounding words of wisdom you gave me was to "Use your basic nursing knowledge in any nursing field you choose to go into." As a result of those words of wisdom, I ultimately became a "Nurse Entrepreneur" and founded HMI Healthcare. Nurse entrepreneurship created financial freedom by blending nursing skills and administrative skills that you taught me. I have been truly blessed with a professional nursing and business career that has allowed schedule flexibility and, most importantly, given me the ability to serve in Ministry.
Deuteronomy 32:11-13
11) As an eagle (Mazie Whalen) stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young (Nurses), spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:
12) So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.
13) He made him (Ezell) ride on the high places (HMI) of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
