Kelsey Doucet Bilich, a proud member of the Class of 2012, has been making a difference at East Jefferson General Hospital for 5.5 years. She began her journey as a nurse tech while in nursing school and decided to continue her nursing career at East Jefferson after graduation.
Currently, Kelsey works on the Ortho/Neuro Med Surg Unit, where she takes on multiple roles, including charge nurse, floor nurse, and preceptor. She is also an active member of the hospital's SWAT Committee (Skin Wound Assessment Team) and the National Association of Orthopaedic Nurses (NAON).
Her dedication and excellence have not gone unnoticed. Kelsey was recently recognized as East Jefferson's Team Member of the Month for August and was nominated for both a Daisy Award and the Great 100 Nurses honor.
Kelsey shared, "Chapelle challenged me academically and set a great foundation for working hard towards my studies and goals, taught me the value of teamwork, and helped push me out of my comfort zone, which has helped me in so many ways throughout my nursing career. Being a part of the Chapelle family is truly special and I have formed so many bonds between coworkers, patients, and family members by simply being asked "So where did you go to school?" (IYKYK lol)
