Salute to Nursing – Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center

Kaylee Liggett works in the Cardiac Cath Lab and Intensive Care Unit at Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center. From a young age, Kaylee was always drawn to the nursing field. Her mother was a nurse, and she has always had an innate desire to help people. Kaylee says that for her, nursing is the perfect profession for her. What Kaylee loves most about being a nurse, is helping and advocating for people at their most vulnerable and unexpected moments. Kaylee says that while some days are harder than others, what is most rewarding to her, are those unexpected days or the more intimate little moments she gets with her patients, their family members, and her colleagues. She says nursing keeps her humble, and there is not a day which goes by where she’s not learning or gaining perspective from a colleague or patient. Kaylee received her Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing from Lakeview College of Nursing in Danville, Illinois. When Kaylee is not working, she enjoys going to the beach with her goldendoodle Oliver, spending time with her friends and family, hiking, and cooking.

 

 

Juliette Francois is a nurse on the orthopedic floor at Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center. Juliette was inspired to become a nurse because of her late mother-in-law who paid for Juliette’s assistant nursing license, and pushed her to get her practical nursing license too. Juliette has now been a nurse for over 10 years. What she finds most rewarding about being a nurse is helping her patients heal, and being a positive light for someone who needs it. Early on in her career, a patient told Juliette she had a calming spirit, and she will touch many people’s lives during some of their lowest moments. Juliette earned her associates degree in nursing from the Academy of Nursing and Health Occupations in West Palm Beach, Florida. When she is not at work, she enjoys running, reading, traveling and spending time with her family.
