Featured Position: Now Hiring Skilled Home Care LPNs & RN's!

Employee Spotlight: Stephanie Ireland 

When Stephanie Ireland started working as an LPN, she loved the clinical care aspect of her job; however, she wanted to make a bigger impact at the facility. She didn’t hold a leadership role at the time, so she decided to back to school, get her RN license, and return to that facility as the new director of nursing for 16 years.

The Skilled Home Care office was just 4 years old when Stephanie joined the team as a Clinical Supervisor. Even though she started in a leadership role, Stephanie has always been willing to do whatever it takes to get her patients the care they need. In addition to being a leader to look up to, she continues to provide direct patient care from Muskegon to Holland.

Throughout her time at Interim, Stephanie has amassed a Rolodex of knowledge and years of experience and yet, every day she is learning something new and sharing her knowledge with everyone on her team in her patented no-nonsense way that all of us know and love. She has developed close professional relationships with not only her nursing staff but also with other clinical teams. Since our patients are unable to leave their homes, she saw an opportunity to collaborate with one provider in particular at a mobile wound clinic and they have continued to seamlessly work together on several patients.

When she is not caring for her patients or nursing team, Stephanie is taking care of her two dogs, Abby and Bella, her chickens, and her rooster, Hercules. To further satiate her knack for learning new things, she has tried dog grooming and even sold handmade ceramics in the past. Most recently she has enjoyed crocheting blankets and stuffed toys for her grandkids.

Since her humble beginnings as an LPN at that facility in Bad Axe, Stephanie has grown into a phenomenal nurse. She is approachable, a great educator, provides expert care, and is dedicated to her work. The nurses she supervises and office staff here know too well, that if you have a question the answer is always, “Ask Ireland”.
