An exclusive interview

How staffing shortages affect patients

“My maternal grandmother was really my first inspiration in becoming a nurse. She worked in long-term care facilities and hospitals as an LPN. She would come home and share her stories with us - my sisters, and myself. As a young person, I was just really intrigued by the things she was saying. Growing up with my grandparents, and even my great grandparents, I was drawn to the elderly and those that were sick, and I enjoyed helping her care for multiple family members.”
