When my mom got sick, we came to MaineGeneral because it was close. The moment we stepped into the building, my mom got the best care and comfort and all our questions were answered. I was a senior in nursing school. Seeing how the nurses cared for my mom, I knew I wanted to work at MaineGeneral. Now I'm working in a busy unit at the medical center and still love everything about being here.
