Maegen Steadman

Maegan Stedman


LPN to RN, St. Joseph’s College of Nursing


I have wanted to be a nurse for as long as I can remember. It started my senior year of high school, when I enrolled in a Certified Nurses Assistant class. This led me to continue on to become a Licensed Practical Nurse and to one
day soon fulfill my dream of becoming a Registered Nurse.


In my nearly fourteen years in healthcare I have had the opportunity to work in several different specialties and each came with its own set of obstacles, but I wouldn’t take back any of my experiences. My experiences are what have
gotten me here today, and what in my opinion will make me a great Registered Nurse.


Since finishing my CNA in high school, I completed LPN school, earned an associate degree in Humanities, as well as a Bachelors of Science in Community Health. I gravitated towards community health, because I would love to be a
health educator.


There will be good and bad days in any profession, but in nursing it’s the bad that we learn from, and that makes us stronger; and the good that keeps us coming back for more. I am dedicated to my profession and to my patients, the
selfless work that nurses do on a daily basis often goes unrecognized, but that’s not why we do it. We do our jobs because we know we are making a difference in the lives of our patients.


This is what I am here to offer to both the profession of nursing and my patients alike. I am a shoulder to lean on, a hand to hold, an ear to lend, and a voice to advocate for their wellbeing. I am here to ease worry and pain,
because knowing that the person caring for you, does actually care, means a great deal to both patients and their families.


In July I started the accelerated associates degree program at St Joseph’s College of Nursing. While it has been both difficult and rewarding, and I wouldn’t change it for the world. I can not wait to be Maegen Stedman, RN, and
thanks in part to the National Coalition of Hospital Associated Schools of Nursing for 2020, I can be.
