During my Residency, I definitely feel like Northside provided me with the tools and resources that I needed to be successful in the different outpatient Surgical centers. Surgical Services wasn't the field that I started in straight outta school, which is why the Residency was such a perfect fit for me. It really made me more proficient and it helped expand my nursing skills that I'd already had. I'm just really happy that I chose to do the Residency 'cause I feel like it's made me a better nurse.

One of the most unique perks that even I realized when I started with Northside was the exposure to all of the volunteer opportunities, and really exposure to all the other organizations that Northside is a part of. And I've ran a 5K. I've helped out at Open Hand Atlanta with packaging meals for those in need. I've gone to the Ronald McDonald House and done meal prep for children who are sick. It's just been such a rewarding opportunity for me and really has just allowed me to really be a part of something not only bigger than myself, but just a part of something that I may not have ever had access to. So that's really I think the biggest perk is just being able to have that exposure to all of the different, wonderful organizations that Northside helps out.
