Meet an Aya Clinician Who's Been There
Barnes Jewish feels a lot more personal than other hospitals I’ve worked at. There’s a great sense of community here. Everyone literally knows everyone, not only in the operating room where I work, but I know the PACU, the pre-op nurses, some of the staff who clean and sterilize the instruments. You get to know all these different people and you feel like your voice is heard.
I love how welcoming, warm and receptive the staff and management have been to me as a travel nurse. My partner, Natalie, gave birth to our first baby boy a couple weeks ago and we already have two girls, so it’s been an exciting, but crazy time. Natalie dealt with preterm labor and I would have to come home from work to take her to the hospital to make sure she wasn’t having the baby. They were just so understanding and accommodating any time I needed to go.
Clinically speaking, I’ve seen procedures I haven’t seen anywhere else. Patients come from all over not only the United States but the entire world. They’re building a brand-new hospital and we’re going to get up to date ORs and new systems for medication and equipment. To be in a new hospital is an experience I might not get for the rest of my life. It will be really, really awesome.
