What our staff say . . . .

"There's never a dull moment and it's never the same on any given day. I just enjoy talking with and learning from older adults." Jean Stoker, 32 years at St. Barnabas 

"I love working in a nursing home and interacting with the residents. My grandmother used to call me an 'old soul' and I guess that's true." Linda Bailey, 31 years at St. Barnabas

"Everybody can give five seconds to make a patient more comfortable, tell them what you're doing, if you're coming back. Take the extra time to get that juice they want. I love my work. Nursing is a hard but rewarding field. You can't help everybody, but you can help somebody. And I do that every day." Janice Moore, RN, 27 years at St. Barnabas

"I love taking care of older people. The residents are like my family. Some of them, all they see is us. I try to make them happy and forget about their problems. The residents love me and I love them. Every day is a good day." Remonia Jackson, 24 years at St. Barnabas

"My mom used to tell me, 'If you've got to do it, do it well, and you won't have to worry about it. If you don't do it right, you're going to have to do it all over again.' And that's been my philosophy, too. The residents are just like family. Sometimes they ask me to sit down and talk awhile, or pray with them. It makes me feel really good to know I've tried to help someone." Betty Walker, 22 years at St. Barnabas

"St. Barnabas gets under your skin. Once you're in, you're in, and you don't want to leave. It's the atmosphere - it's so family-oriented." Susie Masters, 20 years at St. Barnabas

"When I first came to work at St. Barnabas, I liked the idea that I'd be helping people, especially older people." George Yearby, 12 years at St. Barnabas
