Celebrate Nurses: Dale loves intensity of ICU

Not all nurses graduate from high school knowing they will go into the profession. Amy Dale took the long way to get there and tried a few careers in between, but now she is one of the longest-lasting nurses in the intensive care unit at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Corvallis.
Dale has been a nurse since 1993 and worked in Samaritan’s ICU since 1996.
“I’m probably one of the longest hired in ICU (besides) maybe one or two other nurses,” she said.
“I always liked working with people,” she said. “I had an experience where the nurse was really important to me and I was really scared. She was with me and helped me through a procedure. That sparked my interest to be a nurse: that I could help people in moments where they are scared and I could be there for them. That’s what drew me.”
