We are excited to introduce Jamie, one of Benedictine Ellendale's RN Clinical Manager's!

Jamie’s healthcare journey actually began right here at Benedictine in 2010. She started as a Feeder Aide, then became a CNA, followed by a Med Aide, before continuing her education and becoming an LPN. She later earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing through Presentation College and continued her career as an RN.

Jamie has spent her entire healthcare career in long-term care, along with experience in home health and hospice. Her dedication to caring for people throughout the different stages of their lives has been a meaningful part of her nursing journey, and we are so grateful to have her experience, compassion, and knowledge back at Benedictine Ellendale!

As our RN Clinical Manager, Jamie especially enjoys the combination of clinical impact, team leadership, and the opportunity to make a difference in both resident care and workplace culture. She loves supporting our residents while also encouraging and supporting the incredible team members who care for them each day.

Outside of work, Jamie enjoys spending time outdoors, especially at the lake and on the golf course. During the winter months, you’ll find her on her bowling league and watching plenty of Hallmark movies. 😊 And if you know Jamie, you also know she is a very proud dog mom to four dogs who keep her busy and entertained!

We feel incredibly fortunate that Jamie’s healthcare journey began with Benedictine and that she has now returned to serve in a leadership role. Please join us in welcoming Jamie back to the Benedictine family! We are excited to see all the wonderful things she will bring to our residents, families, and team. ❤️
