The Elizabeth Lee Black School is so fortunate to have two amazing nurses, Keri Moore and Kayla Litz.

Both Keri and Kayla offer a wealth of knowledge and experience that ensures our students stay healthy, safe, and thriving throughout their educational experience. They also provide the highest quality care and compassion for each student and his or her unique needs.

I have asked them about what makes their role at the Elizabeth Lee Black School so rewarding and the impact of the nursing field.

Keri Moore

Nursing is a very rewarding career for anyone who truly cares about people and wants to make a difference in their lives.  One aspect of nursing that I feel sets it apart from the rest is the wide variety of specialties and settings that you can work in.  As you grow in your career it is easy to get into a different specialty as your life experience changes your interests and shapes who you are as a person and as a nurse. I am most proud of the difference I have been able to make in so many individuals’ lives.  

The most exciting part of being a nurse at the Elizabeth Lee Black School is that every single day brings something different. No two days are the same and you never know what the day will bring!

Kayla Litz

My favorite part of working at the Elizabeth Lee Black School is the interaction with the students. The diversity in them and getting to know each student on deeper levels to not only fulfill their needs but to also show them how important and valued they are. September marks one year working at the Barber National Institute.

It is an incredibly rewarding career if you find a location that drives you, makes you happy and allows you to find your purpose.
