Hear what our nurses are saying
“As a SICU RN, we see very difficult patients going through unimaginable things. Our unit comes together to provide advanced care as a level 1 trauma center. I’m proud of the things we accomplish for our community and beyond. We receive so much appreciation for what we do and I couldn’t imagine a better team to do it with!”
Emorie H.
BSN, RN, CBCN
"Throughout my career, I have appreciated the flexibility Froedtert Hospital offers. It has allowed me to balance my professional role with raising my three children. I began my career as a full-time RN and was later able to transition through a range of part-time roles and OPT, allowing me to focus on my family's changing needs as my children grew. This scheduling flexibility has given me continued purpose and has allowed me to maintain strong connections within the unit."
Heidi S.
RN
“Working in the Cancer Center has been such a rewarding experience. Our team is top notch and I love what I do. I have worked with some of the most genuinely caring, compassionate, and bright doctors and team members, and that gives me so much pride to be a part of Froedtert & MCW.”
Rainbow K.
Cancer Center RN
“The reason why I wanted to be a nurse was because of living with my condition (POTS). When I got hired with Froedtert & MCW, I was so nervous about this however, slowly but surely I felt comfortable opening up and my leaders have encouraged me to help spread knowledge about my condition to help others. Now I’m in school for my DNP with a goal to be a provider specialized in POTS to help them get their lives back!”
Holly A.
RN
“To ensure my team feels part of the change process, I start by understanding what I know, and don't know, about their workflows. I use what I know to guide the decision-making groups I'm in. Being a good listener, observer, and advocate is the best way to ensure my staff are well represented.”
