Liz Scales, BSN, RN, CAPA, began her career at what is now IU Health University Hospital in 1973. In June, she will have worked as a nurse at the hospital for 51 years. She is currently the most tenured nurse at the IU Health adult academic health center. Finding her calling Scales always wanted to be a nurse. When she was seven years old, she drew two pictures to represent two goals for her life: one about becoming a nurse and one about getting married. “I turned out to be a nurse and I never got married,” she says with a laugh. “Who knows where I’d be if I’d gotten married.” Right from the beginning, while she was in nursing school in the 1970s at Marion County General School of Nursing, she “went straight into the blizzard.” Her teachers identified her as a strong student and would assign her two patients in the ICU when all other students only ever had one. She also delivered a baby while she was a nursing student and working on a labor and delivery unit. Scales began her career at what is now IU Health University Hospital in the surgical intensive care unit, where most patients were open heart surgery patients. After 12 years she began working with the anesthesia department, where she worked for another 21 years before moving to pre-op in 2007. Now, she works in pre-admission testing.
