Antes hab\u00eda trabajado en seguros. Cuando un embarazo y un parto complicados le obligaron a pasar dos meses en el hospital, enseguida se dio cuenta de que necesitaba aprender sobre su enfermedad para poder defenderse por s\u00ed misma. Dej\u00f3 el hospital, se form\u00f3 y en 1994 empez\u00f3 a trabajar como flebotomista en el St. Luke's.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Desde el principio, Cheryl estuvo segura de dos cosas: le encantaba trabajar en el sector sanitario y quer\u00eda seguir aprendiendo y creciendo en su carrera.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despu\u00e9s de 10 a\u00f1os como flebotomista, Cheryl se matricul\u00f3 en la Escuela de Enfermer\u00eda del Hospital de Brockton y se acogi\u00f3 al programa ETP de Southcoast Health, que le ayud\u00f3 a pagar sus estudios a cambio de un compromiso de servicio en St. Luke's. Fue una \u00e9poca dif\u00edcil, ya que Cheryl trabajaba a tiempo completo mientras estudiaba, pero al graduarse consigui\u00f3 inmediatamente su primer puesto de enfermera en la Unidad de Cuidados Progresivos.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Esta transici\u00f3n la llev\u00f3 a progresar a\u00fan m\u00e1s, ya que Cheryl se esforzaba por seguir aprendiendo y creciendo. Pas\u00f3 a la UCI, lo que le supuso un reto, pero tambi\u00e9n una mayor satisfacci\u00f3n al poder ayudar a pacientes con las enfermedades y lesiones m\u00e1s graves. Durante este tiempo, tambi\u00e9n trabaj\u00f3 por horas como supervisora de enfermer\u00eda. M\u00e1s tarde, se traslad\u00f3 a Colocaci\u00f3n de camas, porque quer\u00eda un puesto menos exigente f\u00edsicamente, y permaneci\u00f3 en ese puesto durante cuatro a\u00f1os. Cuando se enter\u00f3 de que Wilks y Century 5 buscaban un jefe de equipo, present\u00f3 su candidatura y obtuvo el puesto. Cheryl disfruta dirigiendo a su equipo, pero se alegra de seguir atendiendo a los pacientes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Con cada nueva funci\u00f3n, Cheryl ha disfrutado aprendiendo m\u00e1s sobre el vasto campo de la enfermer\u00eda y ampliando sus horizontes profesionales.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Preguntas y respuestas de la Gira Eras:<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>P: \u00bfQu\u00e9 le ha inspirado a permanecer en Southcoast Health todos estos a\u00f1os?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>R: Para m\u00ed, St. Luke's cumple todos los requisitos. Sobre todo, la gente es maravillosa. Sigo en contacto con gente con la que trabaj\u00e9 hace a\u00f1os en el laboratorio y en la UCP. Es una comunidad muy solidaria. Luke's a docenas de amigos y familiares a lo largo de los a\u00f1os. Luke's a docenas de amigos y familiares a lo largo de los a\u00f1os. Por \u00faltimo, es una gran alegr\u00eda encontrarme con pacientes a los que he atendido cuando estoy fuera de casa. Verlos sanos y felices me hace sentir realmente bien por lo que hago para ganarme la vida.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>P: Si pudiera volver atr\u00e1s en el tiempo y dar alg\u00fan consejo a su yo de 1994, \u00bfcu\u00e1l ser\u00eda?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>R: Eso es f\u00e1cil. Le dir\u00eda que siga creciendo y aprendiendo. Que no se estanque. Siempre les digo a mis equipos que cuando uno se acomoda demasiado en un trabajo, no est\u00e1 aprovechando todo su potencial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>\u00bfPreparado para iniciar su pr\u00f3xima era con nosotros?<\/strong>\u00a0Explore los puestos vacantes y vea a d\u00f3nde puede llevarle una carrera profesional en Southcoast Health. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.southcoast.org\/es\/careers\/\">Explorar oportunidades<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":18291,"template":"","categories":[1230],"class_list":["post-18290","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-our-people"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.0 -
