Trocaire was a wonderful experience and the foundation on which I was able to build my career. Receiving my first degree (AAS Nursing) allowed me to obtain my first job in healthcare, a charge nurse with the McGuire Group at Seneca Manor Healthcare Facility, which I worked the first 4 years of my career.\u00a0Trocaire was a wonderful learning environment, with faculty that cared about you and your success in the program. There was a sense of family, which made learning both exciting and rewarding.<\/strong>\u00a0On a side note, I met my beautiful wife of 22 years at Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ in the RN program. \u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nWhat do you do now, and why do you love it?<\/h5>\n\n\n\nI have been a nursing home administrator for 17 years. Being a nurse first and foremost, I enjoy helping and caring for individuals in need. Working with the elderly is very rewarding, knowing each day that you are making a true difference in someone\u2019s life. I also love being part of a team that provides and strives each day for excellence in care for our residents. I have been the administrator at Canterbury Woods for 14 years. We have a great interdisciplinary team\u2014it starts with our certified nursing assistants and licensed nurses, and extends to the vital services our ancillary departments provide as well. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Any advice you\u2019d like to share with soon-to-be or new nurses?<\/h5>\n\n\n\nWork hard each and every day, stay focused and most importantly, find your niche, as a career in nursing offers so many possibilities! \u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
