\xe2\x80\x9cOne of the things that keeps me working on 6 Heart is the comradery that we have amongst coworkers. I know that I have support no matter what kind of day I have each day that I come to work\xe2\x80\x9d

\xe2\x80\x9cI stay on this unit due to the staff cohesion; the management (Jackie Biel) and the family feel of the unit. We also spend a lot of time outside of work and do 2-3 large group events a year which makes it a family feel\xe2\x80\x9d
