Alice B.
Mitchellville, MD
High School Nurse Liaison
I guess you can say I was born to be a nurse (I was named after
one). At an early age, I was impressed by my cousin’s crisp white
hat, uniform, and her fantastic stories about her experiences.
While others winced at the sometimes the colorful details, I was
captivated and hooked by the age of five. My journey to becoming a RN was not easy, but I focused on my
goal and found many resources to help me along the way. My 20
years of nursing have been filled with variety and excitement. I
feel like I’ve done and seen a bit of everything: caring for
critical surgical patients, supporting new mothers and their
babies, educating other nurses as a Clinical Nurse Specialist, and
teaching a school-based sex education program. Nursing has allowed
me variety and the ability to do what my heart desires at any
particular time. Sometimes I can’t believe it when I think
about my present position. I am doing what I love best: talking
about nursing! As a High School Nurse Liaison, I recruit future
nurses at the high school level. It is rewarding and challenging to
find new ways to excite, inform, and inspire students about
nursing. Now I tell my stories and share my experiences with
others. When I tell students that “Nurses are the first ones there
and the last ones to leave in a crisis,” they believe me and see
the pride and passion I feel for my profession.
