Meet Our Nurses: Meagan Hanson, RN

Building a Nursing Career That Works For YOU

There’s an old proverb that goes like this: “A good beginning makes a good ending.” That’s certainly seems true for Meagan Hanson.

She says St. Mary’s Healthcare has been the perfect place to begin her nursing career, and it’s setting her up to have a long, successful road ahead.

“When I first came here from Fulton-Montgomery Community College,” Meagan recalls, “all the nurses here were so great about mentoring me. I remember thinking, ‘Wow, they have all this experience, they have all these responsibilities, and yet they actually want to take me under their wings.’ They wanted me to thrive.”

And thrive she has. Meagan started out in Med-Surg, flowed into Intensive Care, and continues to explore the various nursing positions St. Mary’s offers for her future in this field.

“I’m working with new technologies,” she says. “I’m interacting with highly skilled professionals. And, I’m learning something new each and every day.”

Meagan admits she was scared at first. “But here I am today, just three years out of nursing school, and taking on challenges that I never could have imagined. I remember, early on, one of my patients saying to me, ‘You know Meagan, you’re a really good person. I can really see you going places.’

She’s determined to prove that patient right. And she believes she’s already arrived at the place where it’s most likely to happen. She’s found a home at St. Mary’s.
