THE LONG JOURNEY BACK TO HOME.
Nicole Poston knows what it’s like to work under pressure. As a former Army medic, she was a member of the medical staff for her unit traveling around Iraq for a year. As an emergency room nurse at Hillsdale Hospital she’s been part of a team that navigated three transfers via helicopter in just 45 minutes. And, as a mother of three children six and under, she knows how to walk the delicate balance of work and family on very little sleep. “I’ve been on teams my whole life,” she says. “The emergency room is like being on a team.” To read more about Nicole story and the emergency room at Hillsdale Hospital turn to page 40.
