Tell us a little bit about yourself. What you do in the hospital? How long have you worked here?
I’ve been with Williamson Medical Center since 1992! Over 12 of those years were spent working as an EKG Tech.
Why did you choose to be a part of the School At Work program?
Age, it had been so long since I’d been in school – it was a nice opportunity to ease back into going back to college.
What do you think about learning at work with your co-workers?
There’s a more relaxed atmosphere; we encouraged one another.
How has School at Work helped you in your work at the hospital?
Math has helped me understand medical and medicine calculations, the terminology has helped. |

Tell us about your career and learning plans…. What job would you like to have in 1-3 years? Do you see yourself continuing your education?
Since SAW, I have graduated from Tennessee Technology Center with an LPN certificate. Eventually I want to be an RN, going into one of three possible specializations: oncology, bone and joint, or surgery.
Has participating in the SAW program affected the way you feel about your employer? If yes, please describe.
I recommend my workplace to others because I am so to Williamson Medical Center.
Thanks to diirector Jill Perkey for the opportunity and for working with the schedule to allow her to take SAW and the LPN program.
