Mandy Sheckles, our Associate Director of Nursing at the Towne House started in 2019 in her first nursing position. She was quickly promoted as an administrative nurse with responsibilities in medical records, MDS and wound assessments. In her current role she has been trained in Dementia Core to be able to provide specialized training to employees. Mandy is also utilizing the BHI Foundation Tuition Reimbursement Program to earn her RN license.

“Nursing is a challenge in many ways and being a brand-new nurse for less than a year before the covid pandemic started certainly increased the challenge. One thing that helped me throughout my journey as a nurse is to remember though we can’t change the world, we can make a difference, and that could mean the world to those around us. Life is a journey, and like everyone I have faced many challenges to lead me to where I am today. One of the things I remember very well is the sense of accomplishment I felt when I passed my last final in nursing school and walked the stage for my pinning ceremony. Life threw many challenges during my nursing school journey and tried to defeat me so that feeling of accomplishment was indescribable. The appreciation that I feel working for a company that acknowledges my strengths and dedication as a nurse is immense. Towne House has a wonderful group of Leaders and staff that does a fantastic job of acknowledging and showing appreciation to staff. It has been a blessing to know that I always have a great team to turn to no matter what is going on. I know that I am not alone, and my work and efforts never go unnoticed.”
