Welcome Our New Clinic Nurse |
|
Our team has a new smiling face who is here to provide compassionate care to our patients... meet our new clinic nurse Jessica Menchaca-Hinojosa, RN.
Where are you from?
"I am a proud Corpus Christi native who loves living by the water."
How long have you been a nurse?
"I have been a nurse for 17 years with 14 years of NICU experience and about 8 months of ER experience."
Tells us a little about your nursing experience.
"I worked at Spohn Memorial in the ER as a nurse tech while in nursing school and 14 years at Bay Area in the NICU and a few months in the ER. I also worked as a Navigator at Coastal Bend Center for Independent Living part-time right before Mission of Mercy. "
Do you have any hobbies, children, etc?
"I have 2 amazing children, my oldest is 19 and is a 2020 graduate of Collegiate High School and my youngest is 12 and is currently homeschooled. My youngest was diagnosed very early in his life with High Functioning Autism. It has been my life’s purpose to find ways to be the best mother that I can be for him. I am currently pursuing my master’s degree in Nursing through University of Texas at Arlington. Between school, work & homeschooling my son, my hobbies are usually centered around relaxing and recentering, such as, yoga and meditation. I love anything that is music or art related, and I enjoy reading and painting"
Why did you choose Mission of Mercy to work for?
"I chose to work with Mission of Mercy because I believe in what they stand for and all the wonderful services they are providing for our community. My goal as a nurse is to help as many people as possible that are needing the assistance and care."
