A Love for Mount Union
I love the University of Mount Union because it truly feels like home. Being my hometown and my dream school, Mount Union offered a close-knit community where I felt supported, challenged, and encouraged to grow. The strong nursing program, meaningful relationships with faculty and peers, and opportunities to lead and serve shaped both my career and who I am today. Mount Union gave me the foundation, confidence, and sense of purpose that I carry with me every day as a nurse and leader. One of my favorite memories was going to “De-stress fest, and I absolutely loved having night lab. I enjoyed the time we all spent in lab. It was educational but fun at the same time!
Being an ER Nurse
I am an Emergency Room nurse and charge nurse, a role that requires calm under pressure, strong leadership, and quick critical thinking. Each shift, I balance direct patient care with coordinating the flow of the department, supporting my team, and making rapid decisions in high-stress situations. It’s a challenging job, but one I take pride in—advocating for patients, guiding fellow nurses, and helping keep the ER running safely and efficiently when it matters most. What I like most about working as an ER nurse is the variety and fast pace—no two shifts are ever the same. I enjoy thinking on my feet, working as part of a tight-knit team, and being there for patients during some of their most critical moments. The ER challenges me to stay sharp, adaptable, and calm under pressure, and it’s incredibly rewarding to make a real difference when patients and families need support the most. The patients and my fellow colleagues truly make my job!
