In our latest podcast episode, we meet Rachel Mattherly, RN. Born and raised in Fairmont, WV, she attributes her small and friendly hometown as a key influence on her decision to go into healthcare.
An alumnus of Fairmont State University School of Nursing, Rachel says she enjoys the tightly knit oncology unit where she works at the Berkeley Medical Center. “I think I have found my niche in oncology. We often have repeat patients and we get to know them and their families. We also see people out in the community, “ says Rachel about nursing in Martinsburg, WV.
This podcast episode also features Renée K. Nicholson reading her original poem, “Eucalyptus.”
