Beth Rems, RN, 5 Garden Surgical
After graduation from Ball State University in 1996, Beth Rems may have moved to South Bend but her faithful mini-van always seemed to be in drive.
“I was hired as a traveling Nurse, which meant I could work from hospital to hospital nationwide,” Rems said. “I went to California to Florida and just about everywhere else in between.
In all, she put over 250,000 miles on her “little van that could.” But in 2006, she decided on the local drive and accepted a position in Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center’s Surgical Unit, now known as 5 Garden at the Mishawaka Campus.
“This is a great unit,” she said. “There are so many caring people here with a real team spirit and great management. I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t love it so much.”
She should know, having the many opportunities 250,000 miles worth of hospitals can offer. But she decided to call SJRMC home and her many co-workers are happy for that.
“Beth gives excellent care to her patients and always goes above and beyond what her job requires,” said Lynn Urgonski, Manager of Nursing on 5 Garden Surgical. “Beth is an excellent clinician, knows her patients well, frequently reassessing throughout her shift, and always demonstrating a high level of critical thinking.”
All this in spite of giving up her weekend evenings working the 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM shift.
“No matter what time of day it is, healthcare doesn’t stop,” Beth says with a smile.
But SJRMC is very happy that she decided to put her “little van that could” in park here in Michiana.
Congratulations to Beth Rems, the Mishawaka Campus Associate of the Month for February!
