What do you like most about your role as a clinical leader?
I love having the ability to be a resource to new graduates and our new ICU nurses. I take great joy in being of service to fellow nurses.
Being a nurse in the ICU means I am able to care for critically ill patients and support their families during difficult times.

It feels like we belong to a family here. I love how Tufts MC employees work as a team.

What do you like about working at Tufts MC?
There is a wonderful sense of community at Tufts Medical Center. As a new graduate, the Floating 7 staff have been very welcoming and they made it easy to transition into my role as a registered nurse. I always feel supported while at work. And I enjoy working with my mom as it allows me to spend more time with her and learn more about the different aspects of nursing.
