Why Thrive was born

Nursing was always more than a career — it was a calling.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a nurse. I started my career at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, caring for kids and their families — and I loved every second of it.

When life took us across the country and I stepped away to raise our children, I thought I’d go back someday. What I didn’t expect was how much I’d miss caring for people every day. Finding IV therapy gave me that back — a way to reconnect with what I love most about nursing: helping people feel better, recover faster, and live well.
