When I was five years old, my mom told me that there were some children who didn’t have moms. I was shocked, and told my mother frankly that I’d be their mom. Caring for children with early trauma has been the driving passion of my life. When I was six and again when I was eight, my parents adopted children from Vietnam. Having siblings who were born and orphaned in another country put a very personal face for me on human rights and child welfare issues around the world. I’ve spent the last four years working for the International Foster Care program at Catholic Charities Fort

I interviewed Beth Lindung via Skype who is a RNC-OB assistant nurse manager at the Labor and Delivery center at Franklin Square Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. Beth has been a RN for 16.5 years with an emphasis in Labor and delivery 15 years. She got involved in Labor and Delivery because she never knows what her day can bring, and that excites her. Her day can vary greatly due to different circumstances and birth plans. She can come in and be put in the position of needing to be a triage nurse, ICU level nurse, OR nurse, a PACU nurse of simply a newborn nursery nurse. She decided to go into a leadership role after have having poor nurse managers and someone told her If you can do it better, Why don 't you (B. Lindung, personal communication, September 25, 2014). What she does everyday inspires me to be a greater nurse and be an advocate for women 's pre and post natal care through nursing.

Initially I was very apprehensive in sharing the truth behind what ultimately made me decide to return to school to become a nurse. This would entail reliving both joyful and painful memories of my life which I believe to have mapped out the path that I was meant to follow. I was a young, stay at home mom for many years. being the full time primary care giver to my three children was the most rewarding experience of my life. reflecting back I have found remarkable similarities in the traits and skills of mothers and nurses. many of these characteristics are utilized by nurses with each and every patient they encounter . These include but are not limited to compassion , empathy, prioritization, dedication, understanding nonverbal communication.

Here in Bethel University Security, we stand together as a team. We are a very collaborative group, with great team dynamics, and a very loyal disposition toward one another.

When Hackman listed the five basic conditions that separate a team from a workgroup he was spot on with each one. As our Chief tells us, there is no “I” in “TEAM”.

Being in the healthcare profession - you know that new wellness strategies are being developed on what seems to be a daily basis. Being proactive is key when it comes to preventing serious diseases, spreading communicable illnesses as well as keeping chronic illnesses under control. The thing is, most of these new ideas aren't new.
