How has the Residency been valuable for you during your first six weeks on the floor?

The program has allowed me to have an extensive and customized orientation to 1^st floor Med/Surg Oncology. It has allowed me to put my newly learned knowledge and skills into practice while having a preceptor dedicated to guiding and safeguarding my experience. The staff has been extremely welcoming and has created a great environment for my development.

What has been your favorite part of this program and why?

My favorite part of the program has been the flexibility and support. The educators involved have made the program fun, educational, and supportive and Mandy has been dedicated to being an advocate for each and every resident.  I’ve been so thankful to be part of this group of residents and look forward to being part of the KRMC team!

Marlayna has lived in Montana for many years and the Flathead Valley is most certainly home.  She and her fiancé love to spend time outdoors with friends and family.  With a background in social work, entering the nursing profession was a natural draw and desire for her. She completed her nursing degree through the University of Montana and Flathead Valley Community College. Welcome to the team, Marlayna!
