Stephanie Nicole Shinabery, RN

Amy knew since the 9th grade that she wanted to work with children. She thought maybe she would work as a high school biology and chemistry teacher. However, when Amy discovered that nursing was the perfect blend of science, education and helping others, she knew it was the right path. Amy looks forward to coming to work every day to work with the supportive physicians and the close-knit clinical staff. But most of all, Amy loves her patients. She loves to see her young patients grow up and knowing she is impacting their health. Amy looks for education opportunities and is passionate about preventive care and making sure her patients have the resources they need. As a mother of five, Amy spends a lot of her time with her kids.

I feel I was called into nursing early on. I love the complexity of medicine and get great satisfaction by being able intervene and change the course of illness. My faith and family have been the biggest influences in my life. Each day I get excited to come to work because of the relationships I form with my patients and feeling that I have made a difference in someone's life. I volunteer for activities at my kid's school and through my church. I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, scrap booking and traveling. I feel healthcare should be a team approach with the provider and patient working together as one.
