I wanted to work someplace that had the excitement of a variety of health care issues. Also, I liked the excellence that is associated with UI Hospitals and Clinics. It is nationally known and was one of the things that attracted me initially.

I’m a staff nurse in otolaryngology and I work in the Clinical Cancer Center. We also do plastic surgery and oral surgery.

I love coming to work. I like the people that I work with, and that’s a very big plus. The nursing staff, particularly the nurse management in my area, is really strong. I also enjoy working with the doctors--they’re a lot of educated people with innovative ideas.

My patients are acutely ill when they come to us and it requires a lot of special expertise. I like the idea that I can provide that kind of expertise. It’s different here than a private hospital, it’s more of a team effort and we always get good results in our area through this approach.
