I'd say the most unique part of our day working at Northside in PACU is that you never really know what you're going to get or what's going to happen. It always keeps you on your toes. It really sharpens in your critical thinking skills having to constantly like be quick on your feet and care for the patients that come out of the operating room 'cause you truly don't ever know like how someone's gonna do or what interventions you're gonna need to give them. Yeah, and just piggybacking off of that, like every area has their type of surgeries that they normally do. Like on third floor, we do a lot of women's surgeries, but still, you never know if there's a complication during the procedure that it's gonna be a longer recovery time or what you're gonna have to do or if somebody starts crashing, so really, it just keeps you on your toes, like every day's different, even though you are getting the same cases, no day is truly the same. Right.

I've been with Northside for almost 12 years. During this time, I have been able to grow in all of my roles. I have had the opportunity to work as a nurse on the floor, both night shift and day shift. I have been able to go back to school using the tuition reimbursement, and additionally I was able to get my certification and Northside covered all of it. These are incredible benefits that they offer. And in addition to that, I've been able to move up into leadership roles and pursue my goals and dreams as far as the roles that I wanted to do here as a nurse with Northside.
