Laura Sibony lives in Portland, Oregon and is pursuing her doctorate in nursing anesthesia at Oregon Health & Science University. She has been a U.S. Army reservist for the last seven years, since graduating from the University of Vermont.
Our discussion covers, among other things:
*her path to becoming commissioned as an officer in the Army
*deployments to Madagascar and Niger
*technology, social media and artificial intelligence
*the broad responsibilities of a Nurse Anesthetist
*the post-pandemic exodus from nursing
*Oregon’s outdoors, food, pace, skiing, beaches, tsunami risk and, yes, rain
Laura finds hope in the love of her family and friends and the kindness of people she meets from all over the country.
