<p>Residents and patients always come first.</p><p>That is Noelle Glazenski&#8217;s number one rule when it comes to providing quality healthcare to those who reside, both permanently and temporarily, at Riverstreet Manor on North River Street, Wilkes-Barre.</p><p>Glazenski, 48, originally of West Wyoming, entered the health care field about 10 years ago, obtaining her nursing degree from Luzerne County Community College in 2011.</p><p>Before becoming a nurse, Glazenski was a stay-at-home mother, an experience that served to fortify her confidence concerning professional care.</p><p>&#8220;Caring for others is always something that I have loved to do. Being a nurse is all about the relationships you make with your patients along the way,&#8221; she said.</p><p>At Riverstreet Manor, Glazenski also acts as the nursing supervisor, overseeing all other nurses and their schedules.</p><p>&#8220;I make sure everything is in order for that day. This includes general oversight of patient care and directing all nurses throughout the day,&#8221; said Glazenski.</p><p>Currently, Glazenski has been picking up double shifts at Riverstreet Manor, which is something she does often on the occasion that the facility is understaffed or the unexpected sick day calls come in.</p><p>It is no wonder, then, why Glazenski was chosen to be highlighted for Nurses Week: Her dedication to residents is never sacrificed, despite her daily role as supervisor and the many sleepless nights, which she explained is the most challenging aspect of being a nurse.</p><p>However, the long hours and extra shifts are trivial in comparison to Glazenski&#8217;s motivation.</p><p>&#8220;The most rewarding part of my job and my inspiration every day is the smile I get from my residents. It&#8217;s so worth it,&#8221; she said.</p><p>When she is not working at Riverstreet Manor, Glazenski&#8217;s time is spent with her 4-year-old German Shepard, Maggie.</p><p>&#8220;Maggie&#8217;s my baby. I always enjoy coming home from my shifts and taking her on long walks,&#8221; she said.</p><p>Glazenski&#8217;s advice for future nurses is one of fulfillment.</p><p>&#8220;Enjoy every day and every moment spent dedicated to a patient. The joy is so prevalent, it&#8217;s not something you have to search for throughout the day when you are serving others,&#8221; said Glazenski.</p><p>For more on Nurses Week, <a href="www.timesleader.com/tag/nurses_week" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">click here.</a></p><style>
