I would describe Duke culture as diverse, excellent, and inclusive and supportive.
Can I add more? (laughs)
I would describe it as compassionate.
Great teamwork. I would say it's innovative.
It's growth-centered.
Family-oriented and friendly. Upbeat music plays. Why Duke Health?
What's made Duke great for me is all of the experience that I was able to get.
Coming in, I was a part-time clerical employee in the lab, and I was able to move around and promote within.
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.
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.
So at that time is when I really realized that I was more than just someone at Duke with a Duke unique ID.
Upbeat music plays. One thing Duke has always done, I've found is always asking,what do you need to do your job?
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.
There's so many things that make you proud for working here, so many things.
The differences we make each and every day that your teams, other teams make, that just makes you so very proud to work here.
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.
Upbeat music plays. Being born and raised in Durham, I had always loved Duke and always dreamt of having a career at Duke.
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.
Duke automatically put me in a nurse residency program, which was the support and mentorship program.
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.

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?
And my answer has always been like, I didn't have to, they already did.
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.
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.
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.
Our culture is one that we want to make sure everyone feels respected, that they belong here.
So one of our goals here is to help people find joy in work.
Have you ever heard of such?
That's a big undertaking and part of that is creating a culture where people feel nurtured.
They feel valued, they feel seen.
When we're coming to a place that makes a difference in so many people's lives, that's the culture of Duke.
