Registered Nurse
"When I walk into a room and look at the person in that bed, I see my mother there. That's what nurses do - treat patients like we'd want to be treated. Compassion is the key to good nursing."
"I always liked taking care of people, and I believe that being a nurse has made me a better person,” say Janie Glass, R.N.
Glass started out at St. Anthony’s on a medical/surgical floor; moved to oncology for several years; then spent 10 years as a float pool nurse, working in a variety of areas, including critical care. Six months ago, she began working on the Telemetry unit and acting as preceptor to newly graduated nurses.
Being a “better nurse” is Glass’ continuing goal. “If you can’t be nice to people when they’re sick and patient with them when they’re crabby, you shouldn’t be in this profession,” she said. “It’s important to listen to the patient and to make sure her hair is combed and his teeth are brushed. When I walk into a room and look at the person in that bed, I see my mother there. That’s what nurses do – treat patients like we’d want to be treated. Compassion is the key to good nursing.”
“My patients are just like my family,” Glass said. “They teach me to be kinder, more caring and compassionate. I always put the patient first.”
