Kayla Schmidt takes on new role

A familiar face in her role as a PRN (RN when needed), Kayla Schmidt is now in a new position at Parsons Presbyterian Manor.

“I was a nurse on the floor, and have been in nursing for 12 years, but I’ve always been interested in taking on more of a leadership role,” said Kayla. “When the opportunity came available to be the Health Services Director, I was thrilled to get it.”

Kayla’s role will still involve hands-on resident care but will now have more staff coordination responsibilities. She’ll also still fill different shifts and staffing holes as needed, so she won’t miss out on personal time with residents.

“I’m looking forward to learning new things and helping the whole building run smoothly,” said Kayla.

As a matter of fact, running smoothly is something that comes naturally to Kayla, as when she’s not at work you can find her running half marathons or spending time with family. Congratulations to Kayla on her new position!
