WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.000 upbeat music plays 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:12.000 I would describe Duke culture as diverse, excellent, and inclusive and supportive. 00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:15.000 Can I add more? (laughs) 00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:17.000 I would describe it as compassionate. 00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:19.000 Great teamwork. 00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:021.000 I would say it's innovative. 00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:23.000 It's growth-centered. 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:31.000 Family-oriented and friendly.

Why Duke Health? 00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:37.000 What's made Duke great for me is all of the experience that I was able to get. 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:46.000 Coming in, I was a part-time clerical employee in the lab, and I was able to move around and promote within. 00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:56.000 So if I wanted to describe the people here at Duke Health, I would say caring and they're supportive, especially the management staff here. 00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:14.000 In 2012, I lost my son, and I looked up and I noticed that my manager at the time had closed the department so that my immediate peers could attend and support me at the funeral. 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:21.000 So at that time is when I really realized that I was more than just someone at Duke with a Duke unique ID. 00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:27.000 Upbeat music plays. One thing Duke has always done, I've found is always asking,what do you need to do your job? 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:34.000 And they expect a real answer. It's just not, no, everything's fine, great, thank you. They really wanna know how you're feeling and know what do you need. 00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:39.000 There's so many things that make you proud for working here, so many things. 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:47.000 The differences we make each and every day that your teams, other teams make, that just makes you so very proud to work here. 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:58.000 Every day we have a chance to help somebody. Our patients come to us with some sort of life threatening situation that we're able to help them. And that makes me feel good. 00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:08.000 Upbeat music plays. Being born and raised in Durham, I had always loved Duke and always dreamt of having a career at Duke. 00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:13.000 When one of my patients ended up in the hospital and I found out there was an opening, it just kinda seemed meant to be. 00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:19.000 Duke automatically put me in a nurse residency program, which was the support and mentorship program. 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:30.000 For me, it was really about feeling supported, utilizing the skills that I learned in nursing school and being able to apply them in my workforce, what I'm doing day to day. 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:49.000 Upbeat music plays. I think one thing that kind of just continually makes me proud to be here is every time I've gone to a conference and presented work or just shared with an external organization, one question they always ask is with quality, how did you get managers and directors and executive leaders to support you? 00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.000 And my answer has always been like, I didn't have to, they already did. 00:02:53.000 --> 00:03:01.000 I work with so many innovative people. I get to hear so many cool ideas that people have that they wanna try and implement and I get to help support them do that. 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:11.000 If you wanna join Duke Health,you need to know that respect for all and a sense of belonging is foundational to how we think and how we act. 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:27.000 When people feel valued, feel like they have a voice, that's when they wake up with a smile, go to bed with a smile and that's what we want and that's how we get connections throughout the continuum of care that make this place incredibly special and like no other in North Carolina. 00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:34.000 Our culture is one that we want to make sure everyone feels respected, that they belong here. 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:39.000 So one of our goals here is to help people find joy in work. 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:41.000 Have you ever heard of such? 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:47.000 That's a big undertaking and part of that is creating a culture where people feel nurtured. 00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.000 They feel valued, they feel seen. 00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:57.000 When we're coming to a place that makes a difference in so many people's lives, that's the culture of Duke. 00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:04.000 Upbeat music plays.
