Since starting nursing school, I have always wanted to work at WMCHealth. When we would go around the classroom and share what kind of nurse we wanted to be, everyone had specialties selected, whether it was pediatrics, emergency room, or behavioral health. My response was always, “I don’t really know, as long as I am at Westchester Medical Center.” I knew that at Westchester I would have the opportunity to work in almost any area and be able to help some of the most complex patients in our community.
I started my career at WMCHealth in the Neurocritical Care Intensive Care Unit and was given the opportunity to work in a leadership position here in the Intraabdominal Transplant and Surgical Oncology Unit. I love that Westchester gave me the skills and tools to grow in my career, and I feel very lucky to work for an organization that has supported my professional development. The team at 7 North is truly a family; we all work together towards our ultimate goal of providing the best care to our community.
