North Oaks Surgery Center Staff RN Jessica has been honored with the North
Oaks Health System Nurse Excellence Award.
"I have known since I was 6 that I wanted to work in the medical field.
The care I received for my own health problems as a child inspired my
drive to help others in their time of need,” Jessica shares.
In 2003, Jessica joined North Oaks as a Staff Registered Nurse on the
Medicine Unit and went on to join the Operating Room team in 2005. She
accepted her current position with
North Oaks Surgery Center
in 2014.
A resident of Albany, she earned a bachelor’s degree in Nursing
from William Carey College in New Orleans.
Whether playing in her backyard or at the baseball park, Jessica treats
every day as an adventure with her three sons — Karson, 9; Kole,
7; and Kullen, 20 months.
To Jessica, being an advocate for her patients means treating them like
family while providing comfort, easing any anxiety and answering their
questions.
"Always a patient advocate, nothing is more important to Jessica than
her patients and their families," affirms North Oaks Surgery Center
Clinical Nurse Manager Beverly Caldwell.
