Scholarship Stories

Arvetta Hart

ARVETTA HART

Registered Nurse

One of the more rewarding aspects of Arvetta Hart’s job as a Licensed Practical Nurse is the opportunity to form relationships across generations and see the difference good nursing care can make for residents and families. “I have the opportunity and privilege to work with people who have lived entire lives by the time I interact with them. The life experiences they’ve had and the lessons they’ve learned are invaluable. I have heard so many interesting stories and enjoy them all.” Arvetta finds it very rewarding to take care of residents while fulfilling her life’s destiny and journey as a nurse, which began at Ingleside at Rock Creek when she was 16. She was able to complete community service hours by assisting residents in wheelchairs, taking them to chapel services and meals, and reading mail to those with visual impairment. “I’ve been here for over 25 years and l love working here! I love the residents and the atmosphere of home.”

BLESSING DOH

Licensed Practical Nurse

Blessing has been with Ingleside at King Farm (IKF) from the beginning, over 12 years. She began as a Server in the Dining department and was able to advance her career to become a Geriatric Nursing Assistant (GNA). We are fortunate that she chose to continue to share her talents at IKF. Over the years as a GNA, she moved from full time to part time but always stayed connected to IKF. She is now pursuing the next step in her career path which is studying for her Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) certification. It is with the assistance of the Ingleside at King Farm Employee Scholarship Endowment Fund she is able to take this next step in her career and we look forward to her once again sharing her new talents. Blessing embodies the vision of Ingleside being a place where individuals can learn, grow, and advance their careers.
