Travelers of the Month

Martha R.

Nurse

Traveler of the Month - May 2011

It is often said that nurses are the heart of healthcare. When you meet Martha R., RN and 360 Healthcare’s nursing/leadership traveler of the month, you see it for yourself. With five years of service to 360 Healthcare, Martha has embraced opportunities to further her role so that she can have more of an impact as both a mentor to other nurses and a caregiver to patients.

Currently serving as an MDS coordinator, Martha believes that the key to providing excellent care to patients comes from being dependable and consistent in delivering service. It’s a belief she shares with others in her profession. “I mentored with a LPN who was motivated to become an RN,” says Martha. “It was wonderful to see her grow in our profession and touching to feel that my encouragement and support helped her.”

Working with fellow nurses from across the country is one of the benefits Martha enjoys about her career as a 360 Healthcare traveler. “Travel is fun when you have a wonderful support network to meet any needs that rise,” Martha says. “I have been fortunate to travel from Michigan to Georgia, and I’ve had the opportunity to see and do a variety of things – like bike riding on Georgia’s St. Simon’s Island, and exploring the walking trails of Missouri and Tennessee. Most of all, I’ve met some great people who have become new friends and even when I finish my assignment, I keep in touch with them. I send out many a “Hey y’all!” through Facebook!”
