We believe every act of care begins with you

Nurse Shauna - Tacoma

Each chapter in life yearns to be told… Some chapters seem to never end, but there is always a story to be told. I honestly believe all my patients have taught me FATE will always happen, FAITH is something or someone that guides you, and our future is inevitable as Nurses who CARE! In a life time of every step you take is so much more then 1 step in front of the other.. My kiddo believes he can walk through his mind as a quadriplegic. He shows me everyday what a truly incredible mind control he has, so no need to feel sorrow for him. A glimpse in his soul is a picture of the unexpected and unexplainable. My name is Shauna and I am a nurse who CARES!

Nurse Kim - Franklin

My name is Kim & I’m a nurse case manager with the amazing Franklin, TN team. I’ve been with Aveanna for 2 years & a nurse for almost 24 years. I started my nursing career in labor & delivery where I spent 16 years. I never imagined pursuing another nursing path. In 2015, my mom opted for hospice care at home. I had a general knowledge of hospice, but had no idea that the care my mom & our family received would have such an influence on my life. I told my mom, “I think I’m being called to hospice nursing” to which she replied, “yes you are.” A month after she passed, I began my career in hospice & I’ve never looked back. The care I provide means the world to me! It’s why I became a nurse - to make a difference. Providing compassionate, knowledgeable care to my patients & their loved ones is beyond rewarding. To allow another human being a comfortable & peaceful passing is beautiful. In the words of Ram Dass, “We are all just walking each other home.” I’m so thankful to do what I love with Aveanna & my incredible coworkers. Learning from our amazing medical director & my colleagues has not only enriched my career, but my life. I truly feel our care encompasses all of Aveanna’s core values - compassion, team integrity, inclusion, trust, innovation & compliance. I often say, “I don’t HAVE to go to work, but I GET to go to work.” I may bless my patients, but more often they bless me. Pursuing a nursing career in hospice is one of the greatest decisions I’ve ever made.

Nurse Gertrude - San Bernardino

Nurse Marquita - Shelton

I BELIEVE that the POWER of my CARE lies in my experience & education. As a member of the healthcare field for almost 20 years, I have learned so much, but my last 7 years as an LPN at Aveanna have encouraged me to receive my Associate’s Degree in Nursing!!! Next week, I GRADUATE!!! Aveanna, my patient, & the family have all been so supportive throughout this journey. I have studied my patient’s condition and equipped myself with the necessary knowledge & skills to provide the most safe and efficient care possible. I understand the Plan of Care & I have no problem with educating my patient, the family, & my coworkers. The more you share, the more you receive & after all, “Knowledge is power!” I thank Aveanna for supporting my education!!! Onward & upward…

Nurse Norma - Bartonsville

I Believe Nursing is more than a career to me; I think of it as a superhero calling and beyond. When I was a young girl I had a traumatic experience that involved having the Emergency Medical Service called to my house to save my Fathers life. This team of amazing people were my Superheroes! In this most terrifying moment of my life they made everything possible and ok, without them I might not have my father still today. This awful experience ignited the desire in me to be like them. Be the person that makes a positive difference in people’s lives during their most vulnerable moments. The compassion, empathy, support and healing my family received from start to full recovery from medical personnel is what made me want to be a nurse. It’s what drives me everyday to provide exceptional care to my patients. I know first hand the profound feeling it has to be on the receiving end. Every interaction with my patients offers a chance for me to be that Superhero; whether through a gentle touch, a kind word, doing treatments, administering medication, offering a listening ear, simply holding a hand, or offering a supportive smile. Nursing means most importantly showing up! Nurses wear many hats far beyond just bedside care. Nurses are trusted advocates, a reassuring presence in the moments of pain, fear and uncertainty. Nurses make all the difference in a patient’s journey towards recovery because we empower our patients to participate in their own care and ensure they receive the care and support they deserve. I have been a nurse for 20 plus years now and believe some days can be very challenging to say the least! Learning never stops and the dedication can be overwhelming for those that don’t understand. These are the days when I stop and remember why I became a nurse in the first place! To make that special difference in a person’s life. Even though, nursing is a very demanding profession, it is also a very rewarding job that embodies a pure and profound expressions of humanity. It celebrates the dignity and worth of every individual. It’s not always easy, it takes a selfless strong and compassionate spirit to provide healing, comfort, and hope. Nurses change and save lives daily like a Superhero and it reminds me to be grateful for all my blessings. It gives me purpose and fulfillment to provide to others in need. I’m forever grateful and thankful to serve others and be that significant difference in peoples lives daily. I only hope that in all my years of service I have been that superhero for someone else like those medical professionals were for me and my family as a young girl. This is what being a nurse means to me!

Nurse Beverly and Thomas

FIRST A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF. I BEGAN MY NURSING CAREER 28YRS AGO. I’VE WORKED AS A FLOOR NURSE ON THE CARDIAC FLOOR AT THE HOSPITAL, AS A UTILIZATION REVIEW NURSE, A WOUND CARE NURSE AT A WOUND CARE CENTER AND WAS PART OF A CHF TELEHEALTH PROGRAM AND A CASE MANAGER IN THE FIELD. I WAS ALSO BRIEFLY A CLINICAL SUPERVISOR AT DOCTOR'S CHOICE, NOW AVEANNA, WHEN I LEARNED I MOSTLY ENJOY HANDS ON WORKING DIRECTLY WITH PATIENT'S. I ENJOY CASE MANAGING PATIENTS, TEACHING AND WATCHING THEM IMPROVE. DOCTOR'S CHOICE/AVEANNA IS A GREAT COMPANY WITH HAVING A GREAT ADMINISTRATOR, TRACEY. SHE SHOWS THAT SHE CARES AND TREATS EVERYONE WITH KINDNESS AND THE RESPECT WE ALL DESERVE. MY PATIENTS AND CO-WORKERS ARE LIKE FAMILY TO ME. I LIVE ON 10 ACRES WHICH IS A VERY PEACEFUL TRANSITION FROM THE CITY I MOVED FROM. I ENJOY SPENDING TIME WITH MY GERMAN SHEPHERD, PHAROAH, HORSEBACK RIDING WHEN I CAN, TRIPS TO THE COLORADO MOUNTAINS AND SPENDING TIME WITH MY SON, SHERIDAN, EVERY CHANCE I GET. NOW I WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT A VERY SPECIAL ELDERLY MALE V.A. PATIENT THAT I CASE MANAGE. THE OFFICE TOLD ME THERE WAS THIS PATIENT WHOM THE OTHER NURSES COULD NEVER CATCH AT HOME WITH MULTIPLE CALLS AND DRIVEBYS. I TOLD THEM I WOULD TRY TO FIND HIM. PART OF THE REASON HE WAS NEVER HOME, WAS THAT HE WAS AT THE V.A. E.R. LITERALLY EVERY DAY WITH MEDICATION QUESTIONS/PROBLEMS AND ASKING THEM TO FILL HIS PILL BOX AS WELL AS FREQ COPD EXAC. HIS SON AND EX WIFE BOTH PASSED AWAY WITHIN A MONTH OF EACH OTHER FROM COVID. HIS CURRENT WIFE HAS BEEN IN A NURSING HOME FOR MANY YEARS AFTER SUFFERING A STROKE AT A YOUNG AGE. HIS DAUGHTER LIVES IN TAMPA AND THE PATIENT IS NOT WILLING TO RELOCATE OR GO INTO AN ALF SO HE HAS NO AVAILABLE C/G. AFTER SERVING IN THE MILITARY, HE WORKED AS A NEW YORK CITY POLICE OFFICER THEN BACK HERE AS A BUS DRIVER. ONCE RETIRED HE VOLUNTEERED AT THE V.A. AND WOULD DRIVE UP EVERY DAY ON HIS HARLEY MOTORCYCLE. EVERYONE AT THE V.A. KNOWS HIM VERY WELL AND ONE E.R. NURSE TOLD ME HOW SAD IT WAS, IN SUCH A SHORT TIME, TO SEE HIM GO FROM DRIVING HIS HARLEY TO HOW HE IS TODAY. HE NOW GETS AROUND ON A SCOOTER. HE WAS MISSING ALL OF HIS DR. APPT'S ALSO BECAUSE HE IS FORGETFUL. I STARTED FILLING HIS PILL BOX WEEKLY, I CALL THE PHARMACY TO ORDER HIS REFILLS WHICH THEY MAIL OUT TO HIM, I CALL HIM AND PLACE REMINDER NOTES FOR HIS DOCTOR'S APPTS ETC. AT FIRST, HE WOULD MISS SOME OF HIS DOSES BUT AS IT BECAME ROUTINE FOR HIM, HE BECAME TOTALLY COMPLIANT WITH HIS MEDICATION REGIMEN. HE WAS ALSO, INITIALLY, GETTING FREQ UTI'S AS HE STRAIGHT CATHS HIMSELF SINCE HAVING RADIATION TX FOR PROSTATE CA. I SPENT THE TIME NEEDED TO INSTRUCT HIM ON MANAGING HIS CATHETER AND HE HASNT HAD ANOTHER UTI SINCE HE STARTED THIS. I BELIEVE THAT HE GETS SCARED WHEN HE BECOMES MORE SOB, THAN USUAL, DESPITE THE NEBULIZER TX BECAUSE HE LIVES ALONE AND THAT IS WHY HE ALSO MADE MANY TRIPS TO THE E.R. I THINK IT MAKES HIM FEEL BETTER KNOWING HE CAN CALL ME ANYTIME AND THAT ILL BE THERE FOR HIM. HE DOESNT FEEL AS ISOLATED AND ALONE. IM NOT SURE IF IT IS HIM OR MYSELF THAT BENEFITS THE MOST OUT OF MY VISITS. HE IS TRULY A BLESSING AND INSPIRATION TO ME. HOME CARE NURSING IS DEFINATELY MY CALLING. A BAD DAY IN HOME CARE IS FAR BETTER THAN A GREAT DAY IN A FACILITY. I WANT TO WISH ALL MY FELLOW NURSES AN AWESOME NURSES WEEK! ❤️

Nurse Mary and David

Hi, My name is Mary and I am a Licensed Practical Nurse. I started working at Aveanna June 2011, David was about 2 years old at the time. He is now a teenager, David and I have grown up together. He is a very kind young man. David has inspired me to be kind to others who are not very nice. I am a hard worker who does everything she can to encourage him to be a better person, to get an education and go to college. I tell him that even though he has challenges, that there are lots of career choices that he can make. When David was younger it seemed as though his medical issues were insurmountable, he has had major surgery and other medical issues that he has overcome. That is why I said that he and I have grown together. I am very proud to have the chance to work with him every night.

Nurse Edna and Treacy

Hello, my name is Edna. I have been with Aveanna for 3years, I believe in compassionate care.   I vividly remember an elderly patient I admitted with multiple chronic conditions and was feeling incredibly overwhelmed. He was anxious, scared, and struggling to cope with his illness. I demonstrate compassion by actively listening to my patients and putting myself in their position, thinking how I would like to be treated or a loved one who was in that position. It is always important to try to understand the patients and their families so we can address their concerns properly. As  I show compassion by understanding that each patient is different, and they have different situations that are specific to their needs. Something I deal with all the time is having patients who are elderly and a lot of time they live alone and do not have anyone to talk to, so I believe by providing them with a listening ear and making them feel heard and cared for can go a long way in improving their overall well-being.

It's Nurses week! My word is believe. I started Home health around 8 years ago from Geriatrics. It was time for a change and to believe in myself more, so I moved forward and that's how I first became involved with Aveanna. I truly am blessed; not only did I get a new job opportunity but a rewarding and satisfying one! To work with a good team in a great atmosphere is a breath of fresh air. You develop growth with your clients and watch miracles happen. The word believe to me is an important word not only for my inner self but for the company as a whole because when we believe in ourselves and our clients, we continue to grow and be our best to give the most outstanding care. Combine that with compassion, integrity, inclusion, trust, innovation, compliance, and fun (our core values), we strive with our best for each and every one.

Nurse Tiffany - Atlanta South

I became a nurse because of my love of people. I don’t look at it as a job; I look at nursing as me caring for my family because each and every person I take care of is like family to me. Sometimes you come across people who don’t have family and you’re the closest to family for them, so it’s only right for me to be their family. I have developed such great relationships with my patients and their families, that I still keep in touch after they have passed way. I always hear from people how pure and genuine my heart is. That is just my personality. I love all my people and they’re all my family!!!

Nurse Zainab - Allentown

What do I believe in? I believe in myself. I believe in my ability to care for my patients with empathy and compassion. I always say nursing chose me or 'fell into my lap.' After almost 10 years as a bedside nurse and 5 in an office setting, my nursing career took a detour. I took a 2-year break from nursing because I thought maybe nursing wasn't for me, or maybe I wasn't for it because I hadn't found my niche, but then I found Aveanna, or Aveanna found me. Home care nurse? That's a hat I had never worn before. What would it be like? I'd only been a nurse in a hospital and office. My inner voice said "Believe in yourself, Zainab, you can do this, you should use your degree that you worked so hard for, that your immigrant parents paid for." Maybe returning to nursing was out of a sense of duty to my parents, but after working with my diabetic patients, I realized it was for me. Aveanna showed me that I could believe in myself again, as a nurse, my identity. My passion was reignited, thanks to Aveanna. Type 1 diabetes is something I hold near and dear to my heart. My nephew was diagnosed at the age of 8, so the fact that I get to give other families peace of mind when their child is not with them gives me a sense of pride. They believe in me and believe that their child is in good hands, which reminds me to continue believing in myself because I am delivering care with compassion and empathy.
