Introducing Lauren, our dedicated Recruiting Manager at American Medical Staffing. Lauren’s journey with us began in 2021 as a Recruiting Coordinator in our Hospital Division, where she quickly demonstrated her passion for helping others and providing exceptional customer service. Transitioning to Recruiting Manager in the Corrections Division the following year, Lauren continues to build strong relationships with clinicians while supporting them in their career goals. Beyond her professional role, Lauren is a proud Baltimore native, balancing the joys of motherhood with the demands of her career and enjoying moments of relaxation with family and friends. Join us in getting to know Lauren and her inspiring story further. “My name is Lauren and I am a Recruiting Manager at American Medical Staffing.  I joined American Medical Staffing in 2021 as a Recruiting Coordinator in the Hospital Division.  In 2022, I transitioned to Recruiting Manager in the Corrections Division. I have a passion for helping others and providing excellent customer service. It is rewarding to be able to connect with a diverse range of talent and be able to build strong relationships with my clinicians all while helping support them with their career goals. I currently live in Baltimore, MD where I was born and raised. I am a mom of 3 children, a 9-year-old daughter and 19-year-old and 15-year-old sons, and two fur babies, Smokey and Gunner. My fiancé works as a Baltimore City Firefighter. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I am busy being a mom; managing the hustle of all the extracurricular activities, homework, and play dates and the shift work of a first responder. When I do get a few extra minutes, I enjoy going on evening walks, roller skating with my daughter, hiking at our nearby park, and enjoying a good glass of wine by the fire pit. In the summer, you can find me poolside relaxing and enjoying the sunshine. Correctional Healthcare is a very rewarding experience and a great way to give back to the community.  You can make an impact on individuals that can help them transition back into the community.  Having staffed social workers in the correctional setting, you really hear how many inmates truly are overlooked and not given the support and healthcare they need. No matter where you are in your life’s journey sometimes it only takes that one person to make an impressionable impact that can change your life. I would love to connect with you to see if correctional nursing is a good fit for you!”   Interested in connecting with Lauren? Email her at LPierce@AmericanMedicalStaffing.com.

Take a moment to hear directly from these dedicated professionals about why they love what they do:   Armela S. “I enjoy being a school nurse because I love meeting students and making them feel better. Other than giving out bandaids, ice packs, and hugs, I love to educate students on healthier lifestyle choices that can improve their well-being. Turning their tears to smiles brings me joy every day!”   Mary L. “I never thought I would ever work in a pediatric setting as a new nurse. I have worked exclusively with children and school nursing since I began with AMS in late 2015. I have never been happier. The children are each unique, funny, caring and it is so neat to watch them interact with their world.”   Courtney T. “I like nursing because it’s a profession that allows me to make a direct and positive impact on people’s lives every day. The opportunity to care for individuals during vulnerable moments, provide comfort, and promote healing is incredibly fulfilling. Nursing requires not only medical knowledge but also empathy, communication, and critical thinking skills, which I find challenging and rewarding. The power of caring for people is a feeling that cannot be described.”   Kathy M. “There are many reasons I enjoy being a school nurse with my co-workers as we support the students as well as each other. It has also increased my knowledge of pediatric assessments as before my main area of nursing was with adults. Along with expanding my diabetes care with young adults. Lastly, I enjoy the interaction with the students and being able to educate the students on various health issues. In general, it has been very rewarding and I have enjoyed my work experience.”   Sharon C. “Working as a community School Nurse as been very rewarding for me. I am thankful for the opportunity to work with students, parents, and the community. I especially enjoy the health-focused activities we engage in. ”   Sabrina A. “Be true to yourself and your time! School PDN has been so life-changing. I get to spend more time with the people I hold close as well as set and reach new goals without any second thought. The schedule gives you more time to focus on enjoying life , instead of working and watching life pass you by. It doesn’t have to consist of being burnt out! I can say I love my job without hesitation! Happy Nurses Week! Thanks for all you all do !” On National School Nurse Day, we extend our deepest gratitude to all school nurses for their unwavering dedication and compassion.

They are so grateful and appreciative of everything we do. Seeing them battle with cancer makes me a stronger person.”     Stacia S. In my 11 years as a Med/Surg, Ortho, Trauma, and now Oncology/BMT nurse I would say the thing I love most about nursing is helping patients regain their independence, being there to support patients and their families through a wide range of emotions, and building rapport and relationships with patients and their families.”   As we conclude our tribute to Oncology Nurses Month, we extend our deepest gratitude to Tschantia and Stacia for their unwavering dedication and compassion in the field of oncology nursing.
