Stephanie Barnes' Story of Growth

The Start of Something Great

When Stephanie Barnes first began her nursing career, she had a goal to begin her journey at a Magnet hospital – like Duke Health. She wanted to be at a teaching hospital of the highest standard, known for quality care and nursing excellence.


In the local area, Duke stood out as not only the best choice, but also the only one that Stephanie could see for her future in nursing. She was so sure of this next step that she ended up only applying at Duke Health.
