How one woman built her cleaning job into a nursing career

Kimberly Williams worked hard and got help from Norton Healthcare to rise from a temporary environmental services team member to a registered nurse.

Less than five years ago, she was a temporary cleaning employee on the environmental services team at Norton Audubon Hospital. Since then, she’s worked hard, studied hard and received tuition reimbursement. Now she’s a registered nurse.

Kimberly Williams, R.N., graduated in December 2018 and now works in Norton Audubon Hospital’s intensive care unit.

“I am so happy to have had opportunities to grow my career here. Being able to experience everything from environmental services all the way up to nursing is such a blessing,” Kimberly said.
