Sonya Crawford, LVN - Palestine Skilled Nurse

What do I do at Grace?

LVN Field nurse for Palestine Office

How many years have you been with Grace?

Since December 2001

What do you like about working for Grace?

The family- like atmosphere: everyone is willing to “pitch in” when help is needed. We are more than just co-workers in our office.

Describe your most rewarding or satisfying experience since you started working for Grace.

There are too many rewarding experiences to single out just one! It is always great to have someone welcome you in their home to deliver nursing care. The experience is more personal than just a “nurse/pt” relationship.

Why did you choose nursing as a profession?

Following in the footsteps of my mom. And of course helping others is always a rewarding experience.

What is your perfect day?

Spending time with my husband John and son Dylan

What do you consider your greatest skill?

I like to think that I am good under pressure. I love wound care.

Before working here, what was the most unusual or interesting job you’ve had?

As a nurse the only other job I had before Grace was a charge nurse in a nursing home. It definitely had its interesting moments, but overall the great learning experience.

What are your hobbies?

When away from work I enjoy working in my yard and playing with my son Dylan.

And finally what is something unique that most people don’t know about you?

I am pretty open about myself….. so there is not much that people don’t know!
