In Laura’s words: “I have had the privilege of working at the Vi for 8 years and counting. I have grown professionally as a nurse and grown in my personal life as well. Being a nurse is a beautiful role for many reasons. I love that I get to be there for our residents during some of the most difficult times in their lives. I also get to be there with them to celebrate with them in some of the sweetest moments. I have the privilege of being their advocate when they are unable to speak for themselves. I have learned to never underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a listening ear, an honest compliment or the smallest act of kindness. I look forward to many more years of service at Vi.”
