Nursing leadership in action.

Med/Surg Leadership

Med/Surg Leadership

April, Nursing Manager

"I just really enjoy the culture at MercyOne. Being a leader has always been something I have been interested in. I really want to bring good teamwork and culture to my team. I understand what it means to be a bedside nurse, so I want to improve work at the bedside for all of my team members. 

 

I’m really close with my staff; they really trust me! I’ve worked at the bedside with them. If they need help, they know they can come to me. I also strive for them to work as a team together. I have an open door policy with snacks in my office. They know they can come in whenever they need something, whether to destress or if they need help with patient care."

I have been at MercyOne for 22 years now. I have been in the cath lab for 10 years and the manager for 2 years.  It’s the staff and the patients. IowaHeart has great research and is always developing new things."
