"": Kathie Shingleton Kathie Shingleton, LPN, a nurse on the Behavioral Medicine unit at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center, has been chosen July's Employee of the Month. Shingleton's co-workers say she not only gives professional nursing care, but is also extremely insightful in-sightful into emotional and psychological needs of patients. In her five years at UVRMC, Shingleton has been a nurse on the Adult and Child-Adolescent Psychiatric units, as well as the Behavioral Medicine unit. ' She says she never considered psychiatric nursing until an instructor in-structor at Utah Technical College recommended her for a position. The idea then "struck a chord" in her, and psychiatric work is now her "special love." She finds her work "very fulfilling as patients are willing to learn and change." Shingleton plans to continue her education to become a registered nurse. A native of Arizona, she now lives in American Fork with her three daughters. |
