Staff Profile
Ann MasseyRegistered Nurse
KDH has had a special place in my heart since I moved back to North Gower in 1988. Over the years I had a number of positive experiences at KDH. Staff were always warm, welcoming, and caring, inspiring confidence in the quality of care at KDH.
With these experiences, it is not surprising that on a cold November day in 2011 as I was driving past KDH on my way to work as a Birthing Unit Nurse at The Ottawa Hospital, I thought to myself, “Maybe I could get work in the new Operating Rooms…you never know unless you try!” (The new OR suites had just recently been opened.)
With 27 years as an OB/GYN high risk intrapartum nurse with Operating Room experience, I put together my resumé and took it to KDH’s Surgical Day Care unit where I put it in the hands of the Team Leader. I was subsequently hired, orientated to the OR, and mentored by the Manager of the unit while completing a 16-week intensive OR course. Now I work regularly in the OR and occasionally in the PACU (Post Anesthesia Care Unit/Recovery Room) and Clinics.
I love nursing and helping people be restored to health through surgery! In the unit we have a team approach to patient care where each member of the team is valued for their individual competencies and disciplines. I am proud to be a Registered Nurse serving at KDH.
"After three months of convalescent care at KDH, my wife and I wanted to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation for all the care staff who attended to me during my stay. From the moment I arrived at the unit, I was struck by the welcoming and compassionate atmosphere. I would like to extend a special thank you to every member of the care staff for your helpfulness and kindness. You all played an important role in aiding my recovery, not just physically but also emotionally. What sets this convalescent unit apart is the genuine care and concern shown towards residents. I never once felt like just a bed number but rather an individual who was valued and respected. The encouragement given to residents to improve their health and engage in social activities also greatly enriched my experience. I made new friends and created lasting memories. I cannot thank you enough for your unwavering support. I will always remember my time there with fondness, thanks to the wonderful care staff who made it a home away from home. Thank you for everything."
