Relationships Matter
Following her graduation in 2016 with a bachelor of science in nursing, Kathryn Mayo went to work as a nurse on the cardiac care unit at Scott & White Medical Center. In addition to caring for patients, she serves on several shared governance councils and is Chair of the Research and Evidence-based Practice Shared Governance Council, where she works with nurses who want to perform research projects. “Relational lessons I learned from my instructors at UMHB have made an enormous difference in how I’ve organized my team and the way my council conducts business,” she says. “The way my professors care about people makes me want to do the same for others, so I make a point to develop and encourage my council members as we work together."
