Chris Gandy, BSN, RN, serves as a night-shift assistant nurse manager at Broward Health Medical Center, responsible for managing staffing, patient care and environmental services.

A Mississippi native, Gandy became a nurse 29 years ago. He was inspired by his mother’s stories about her experiences as an ambulance and Emergency Department nurse.

Gandy served as a travel nurse and finally settled down in Fort Lauderdale in 2014. He stresses that compassion is key to being a good nurse and that money is not the most important priority for a happy career.

“Find a place where you feel comfortable and fit in, and you will never regret a day of work,” Gandy said. “My co-workers and I work together to create an environment that we all enjoy and do what we do best. We look forward to spending time together. We are truly a family outside of our homes.”
