Nursing Careers at Newport Hospital
Meet Our Nurses
 Nancy
Wilcox, RN
Emergency Department
The rewards of nursing are abundant. More than monetary is the feeling
of making a difference in someone's life, and knowing that what you do
can change a person's life for the better. Physically, it may be
medicating them to relieve their pain or starting an IV to keep them from
being dehydrated. Mentally, it may be just listening, providing a kind
word, holding their hand or providing a hug. In some cases you may find
that you are the only source of caring that person may have.
Spiritually, you may provide comfort simply by offering to contact
their priest or minister. Sometimes it's letting them know that it is
okay, that even though they haven't been to church for years, that God
is still there listening and will help them through the last days of their
life. You may find yourself being the last person that someone sees on
this earth before they die. That in itself is profound, and to be able to
help provide them comfort and some peace is an awesome thing.
As I practice nursing here at Newport Hospital, I often hear from
patients about how much they appreciate the nurses and what we do. They
all say that they feel that we really care. Of all the careers that one
may choose, nowhere can you find these unique opportunities to truly make
a difference in someone's life.
