About Marcy Floyd Educated at Goshen College, Goshen, IN, Marcy Floyd, FNP, decided on a medical career shortly after high school. During her years in the field, she has worked in Ortho-Neuro units, inpatient rehabilitation and in long-term care. With nearly two decades of experience on the orthopedic floor, she says, “It is something that I am comfortable with and skilled at as a nurse.” As she cares for her patients, she remembers there is not just one answer to a problem and she always looks at other possibilities. Marcy wants them to know that she continually strives to be an expert in her field. “I want people to know that I will do my best at helping patients achieve their greatest health outcome.” Treating patients as if they are a family member or a friend is Marcy’s philosophy. “I hope that they have felt compassion and caring from the way I treated them. That they have felt taken care of and heard,” she says. “Hope and encouragement is also what I have given them as a caregiver.” In her own words… What was your first job growing up?
