"A nurse helps those who need help. If you have knowledge, you should share it. If you know how to do something and somebody is struggling, then lend a hand and help them. My first job was working as a board clerk at the University of Rochester's hospital. I wanted to be a nurse, and I discovered that I could attend the community college and earn my registered nurse license."
"I can still remember the feeling of my feet flying through the air because this was my dream, and I was going to be able to do it. I was married with three children, 2, 4, and 6, and I was working full-time. I got my RN in two years and continued to work for the University of Rochester in pediatrics. As my children grew, I became certified as a school nurse and worked in schools before returning to the hospital."
Barbara Ford trained as a registered nurse after working as a board clerk at the University of Rochester hospital. She earned her RN through community college while raising three young children and worked in pediatrics, school nursing, and returned to hospital care. She advanced to assistant director of nursing, later worked in an emergency room and as head nurse on a med-surg unit, and retired in 1990 but continued working thereafter. After retiring from nursing, she attended truck driving school and, with her husband, leased a truck hauling government explosives for 21 years. She remains active at 83 as a nurse and patient advocate, emphasizing sharing knowledge and helping others.
