We are so proud of Miranda!
For Miranda Sennett, nursing wasn’t just a career choice but a calling that became clearer with every step of her journey.
Before becoming a registered nurse, Miranda worked as a medical assistant in one of Grandview's outpatient clinics after earning her degree in Microbiology. Although she always knew she wanted to build a career in healthcare, it was working directly with patients at the outpatient clinic that confirmed this. “I fell in love with patient care,” Miranda said. “I knew I wanted a role where I could take on even more responsibility."
When the University of Montevallo announced its new nursing program, Miranda took a leap of faith. As the only student of the program’s very first cohort, she benefited from close mentorship with the faculty, additional clinical experience and classes that were fit to her learning style. The experience shaped her into the nurse she is today and inspired her to give back by asking to volunteer with the program as it continues to grow.
During nursing school, Miranda completed her preceptorship in Grandview Medical Center’s Labor & Delivery unit. “I already knew some of the team and the unit, so coming back was comforting.” she said. “Grandview made the transition from student to nurse feel natural.”
Today, Miranda works the night shift in Labor & Delivery, caring for mothers and babies during some of life’s most meaningful moments. She says the supportive culture and willingness of co-workers to teach and mentor have made all the difference as she has grown in her career.
Miranda’s advice for those considering nursing is simple: “Jump in. Don’t let the fear of starting hold you back. Be willing to learn, ask where you are needed and get your hands dirty.”
For Miranda, Grandview has been more than a place where she works. It’s where her passion for nursing became a profession, supported by a team committed to helping her grow while providing compassionate care to every family she serves.
