Tell us a little bit about yourself. What you do in the hospital? How long have you worked here?
I have been at Tulane since 1983! I haven’t been in school for 20 years and always wanted to return, but didn’t think I could.
How has School at Work helped you in your work at the hospital?
The communications modules were helpful, especially the email portion. Now I have a better handle on how to communicate with nurses in the building.
Have you made a job change or education decision since you began the SAW program? If so, tell us about that. How has SAW prepared you for your new responsibilities
Yes, the CLP gave me hands-on experience with career planning, and I discovered that I like coding; I’ve enrolled in that program at Delgado Community College. |

What kind of feedback have you received from your supervisor about your participation in SAW?
My supervisor is excited about the fact that I’ve enrolled in school. I’m also getting a lot of support from my children; we work on our math together!
Has participating in the SAW program affected the way you feel about your employer? If yes, please describe.
Tulane supports me and my advancement. There is a great need for RNs, and they are helping us fill those jobs.
What would you say to someone who is considering taking the class for the first time?
The DVDs and course work really help you when you do go back to school.
