Stephanie Grant Nursing Story:
I graduated with my Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology in 2016. After graduating, I began working as a Mental Health Specialist at McLean Hospital, which is a psychiatric hospital in Belmont MA! I have such a passion for mental health. After about a year of floating between all inpatient units, working in psychosis, depression/anxiety, evaluations, trauma, geriatric care, PTSD, substance use, I started to pay attention to Psychiatric Nurses and found the care fascinating. I worked with multiple APRN’s and MD’s, all of whom helped me understand the psychiatric NP role.
I decided to apply to direct entry nurse practitioner programs to receive my BSN and then move forward with my masters. I was accepted into the program at Northeastern University, received my BSN in 15 months and then began working as a Registered Nurse on one of the best floors at the Hospital. Schizophrenia and Bipolar, first break psychosis and mood disorders.
I started working as an RN in March of 2020, the start of the COVID – 19 pandemic. After about 6 months of working full time as a new RN, I decided to apply to Occupational Health Connections, as one my best friends, Alison O’Neil told me about! I wanted to work part time as an occ health nurse to really make a difference and help out with the pandemic, testing and vaccinations. It has been so rewarding and working for Nancy has been amazing!
Things I do for Fun: Playing with Benny, my Bernese Mountain dog! Spending time with family! Exercising! Boxing!
