\"\"They say the apple doesn\u2019t fall far from the tree. For Tammy and Kelly Butler, this expression remains true. Tammy and her daughter Kelly are both nurses at OSF HealthCare Saint Anthony\u2019s Health Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tammy has been a nurse for 25 years and has worked as the first assist in the OR at OSF HealthCare Saint Anthony\u2019s Health Center for the last eight. As a child, Kelly was with her most of the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing a single mom I couldn\u2019t always afford a babysitter,\u201d Tammy said. \u201cKelly grew up in the hospitals and nursing homes I worked at.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kelly helped her mother serve patients by passing out trays and wrapping silverware. Taking care of people came natural to her, and she knew she wanted to grow up and be a nurse just like her mom.<\/p>\n

\u201cI spent so much time at Saint Anthony\u2019s with my mom,\u201d Kelly said. \u201cWhether I was coming in for a sports physical or just visiting her, I loved the feel of this hospital from the moment I walked in.\u201d<\/p>\n

The next generation<\/h2>\n

In 2017, Kelly graduated from the Lewis and Clark Community College nursing program, just as her mother had done years before. She now works in the Emergency Department at OSF Saint Anthony\u2019s.\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cSaint Anthony\u2019s was the only place I wanted to be,\u201d Kelly said. \u201cFor me, it felt like home. I didn\u2019t apply for any other nursing jobs \u2013 I never had a second thought.\u201d<\/p>\n

After working here for eight years, OSF Saint Anthony\u2019s feels like home for Tammy as well \u2013 now more than ever.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only do I get to see my daughter at work, I also work with Mission Partners and doctors that I consider family,\u201d Tammy said. \u201cEveryone feels respected here \u2013 we are part of a team.\u201d<\/p>\n

OSF HealthCare believes in recognizing employees as \u201cMission Partners\u201d in order to honor each person for their commitment and dedication to the Sister\u2019s Mission of serving with the greatest care and love.<\/p>\n

\u201cOSF Mission Partners are the kind of people who are willing to help anyone that walks in the door at any time,\u201d Kelly added. \u201cTo us, the patients always come first. I always want people to get that feeling of warmth that I once felt walking into this hospital as a little girl.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tammy was the first nurse in the Butler family, but she certainly won\u2019t be the last.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy youngest daughter also plans on attending nursing school at Lewis and Clark Community College just like Kelly and I,\u201d Tammy explained. \u201cI guess we really are a nursing family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joining the team<\/h2>\n

If you are interested in joining our OSF family, nursing might be the career for you. According to national data published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), employment for registered nurses is expected to increase 16 percent by 2024, which is faster than the national average for all other occupations.<\/p>\n
