Mackenzie Allen shares why she decided to start her nursing career at Ochsner LSU Health. Thank you, Mackenzie, for your hard work and dedication to providing excellent patient care.
“I chose to work at Ochsner LSU in our Labor and Delivery Unit because I felt so welcome from the moment I stepped foot in the hospital. Since starting my career as a new RN graduate, every nurse, doctor, and staff member has encouraged me and supported me to grow into an even stronger nurse. I love working with all of our patients and feel like Ochsner’s core values ensure the patients are put first. Ochsner LSU has been so supportive throughout my first year as a nurse, and I am currently working on receiving my obstetrics specialty certifications!” – Mackenzie Allen, RN
