Matt Faber Provider Recruiter **************************** **Transcript**
Providence has helped me reach my goals. I knew that I wanted to have a six-figure income eventually. So nursing provided that. When I got into the profession, I started out as a CNA, worked in a long-term care facility, and then once got into the nursing program, then I was like, you know, I wanna join the hospital. That's where I wanna be. I wanna, for them to get to know me so that it'll be a smooth transition as I change roles into a nurse 'cause I knew that a CNA doesn't make the kind of money that I needed to make to support my family. So I knew that the end goal was to be a nurse but I didn't want all the stress and everything that comes along with the new environment, the new people. And I just wanted to get settled in and then transition into the nursing role. And Providence supported that and they helped me along that. My manager worked around my schedule for school. So I would work weekends, work holidays, and it just seemed to always work out that when I needed to do an extra shift, it was available. When I needed a day off, I was able to take it off for school. And then the trade-off was at the end, I wanted to work for Providence. And that's exactly what happened. And so I went from a day shift CNA to a evening shift nurse on the same unit, working kinda with the same people. And it just was a really good, seamless transition. And that was 15 years ago now. And so here we are, 15 years later and I've hit the six-figure mark that I was going for. So thank you, Providence, for helping me fulfill my career goals and dreams and providing the opportunity.
