Happy #NationalNursesWeek! Celebrated each year May 6-12, this week highlights nurses for their service and dedication to caring for others and improving patients' health. Today we celebrate RN Anthony A. from the Infusion center at Ochsner Medical Center - New Orleans. Anthony says, "What is most rewarding about my position as a chemotherapy infusion nurse is the personal connections, the relationships and friendships with patients. I get to come to work and hang out with my friends (the patients) all day! There is so much more to healing than medicine. Healing is an attitude, compassion, laughter, positivity, commitment, it is helping people and doing the right thing all the time." Learn more about nursing at Ochsner Health! ochsner.org/careers

As we head into Nurses Week May 6-12, we are thrilled to celebrate our nurses featured in New Orleans Magazine's Faces of New Orleans 2024 issue as the Face of Healthcare. The feature shares a conversation with Tiffany Murdock, Ochsner's senior vice president and chief nursing officer. She speaks to her own purpose and journey into nursing, the importance of nurses at Ochsner and her vision for the future of the profession at Ochsner and beyond. Tiffany says, "Nurses are truly the face of healthcare—they are the faces patients see each day, more than any other healthcare provider. If you want to be challenged, if you want to have a career that has limitless opportunity while keeping a purpose and passion, then Ochsner is the place for you. I'm better at each role I've had in healthcare because I am a nurse." Read more: https://lnkd.in/g-MZ3T_s
