About
Coming from a long line of teachers, going back to her great grandparents, Samantha Wilson forged her own way in a career in health care. She was inspired to pursue this path after reading a memoir by an emergency nurse. “It made a big impression on me and I wanted to have a career where I felt like I was making a positive difference in people’s lives,” she says. “A big part of being a nurse is educating so, in some ways, I guess I do teach.”
Operating from the position that knowledge is power, her goal as a provider is making sure her patients have a clear understanding of their care, because it increases compliance and decreases complications. “[Knowledge] empowers patients to improve their health status and their quality of life,” she says.
This field allows her the opportunity to guide women to be knowledgeable about how their bodies work and to feel in control of their health. She sees being a nurse as more than just a career. “I strive to provide competent, empathetic and compassionate care to all my patients.”
Through her training and experience, she has learned to trust her instincts. Samantha worked for Beacon for eight years in the Emergency Department and believes the associates care about their community. “The people I worked with in the ER were some of the best nurses and physicians I have ever worked with,” she says.
In her own words…
Who is or was the most influential people/role models in your life? My mom and grandmother. They are both strong, compassionate and lovely humans.
What was your first job growing up? What do you remember about it? I was a certified nurse assistant in a nursing home during the summers while I was in high school and college.
What is your favorite food? Movie? Favorite foods: Pizza, ice cream and tacos Favorite movie: “Stand by Me”
What was your best/worst subjects in school growing up? Favorites were choir and physics; worst were geography and history.
If you could sit down to dinner with anyone (alive or deceased) who would it be and why? My brother. He died suddenly when I was 19 and I miss him.
In addition to medicine, what are you passionate about? Hanging out with my husband and three kids, traveling, and my Peloton bike.
What are your hobbies, interests? Reading, being outside in the sunshine, flowers and plants, exercise.
Do you have pets? Yes, two dogs. We have a Golden Doodle and a rescue dog.
What is something most people don’t know about you? I love going to concerts and I cry easily when I watch movies.
