Why be a Nurse - because I fell in love with helping others. Why work at Mayo - At first I was just happy to get a job, I had just moved to Phoenix and the job I moved here for fell through because of a hiring freeze. It took a couple days for the "Mayo" part to sink in. While going through the first week of orientation I realized that I was working for the "Disney" of healthcare. The history, the why behind it, the innovation, all those amazing breakthroughs that all started with one man. I worked for the Mouse many years back, and as an employee for both companies, you can see that the companies care for who works for/with them. They know that without the employees they couldn't do what they strive to do and that is why they try and take such good care or them. I have been blessed to work some amazing people, and it is lovely to watch the interactions, even when sad, between the employees and the patients.

1 ReactionWhy work? I work because I feel a sense of self worth when I help others. I enjoy coming up with ideas to better workflows, working on projects to benefit patients, and I love to teach. I like feeling like I make a difference... even if it may not be to the world, as long as I made a difference in one person's day.

2 Reactions@kestera9- Why I work? I like being a behind the scenes person. I love my position in Organ procurement. I like helping those in need and being able to travel and get an organ for our recipients. I feel that this a fulfilling job in that it has so many rewards on both donor side to the recipient side of the whole process.

2 ReactionsI work because each patient is different and has their own unique story and struggles they are going through, and I as a social worker get to share in their story when they admit to the hospital. I have the privilege to be a part of their lives for a short time while I provide coping and support and a connection to resources they may have thought they would never need.
