CATHY
COOK
EMERGENCY ROOM REGISTERED NURSE
Continuing
career opportunities abound at Labette Health and Cathy Cook
feels lucky to have experienced many of them.
"I retired from one career and
was encouraged by a friend to pursue nursing as a new career.
As I love people and helping, this turned out to be perfect.
The daily challenges of nursing and the people – both patients
and coworkers – are what I enjoy most about my job."
Labette Health as well as the Labette
Health Foundation and Labette Health Auxiliary all contributed
toward the expenses of Cathy's nursing training. Although Cathy
says she originally chose Labette Health because of its convenient
location, now that she's experienced working there Cathy says, "I
won't leave!" And it's easy to understand why she has been
so impressed by the hospital's focus on family and teamwork.
"Senior staff members are very
helpful to new grads. Labette Health is willing to help medical
field students attending Labette Community College, and they
go right on to employ the graduates."
