Meet...Julie
Name: Julie Adam.
Department:
Nurse manager for hospital services coordinators, Central Staffing Office,
and the House Option Pool.
How long at MUSC: 9 years.
Birth place: Keota, Iowa...a tiny little dot on the map. MUSC has more employees than the total population of the 30 miles surrounding my hometown!
Education: Currently working on my master's in nursing systems management at the College of Nursing.
Favorite TV show: Anything done by Bill Moyers or Ken Burns.
Favorite room in your house: My FROG (family room over the garage). It’s a cozy little room with all my books and music.
Favorite song/music: Blues.
Ingredient you must have in your refrigerator: You mean besides milk for my cereal and a can opener in the drawer?
Least favorite chore: Scrubbing the bathtub.
Fondest childhood memory: I come from a huge family (by today’s standards) and we had all these great reunions.
Bad habit: Procrastination.
Your idea of a perfect vacation: No telephones, no televisions, no pagers, no crowds, no agenda.
If you could trade places with anything for a day, what would you be? I’d be a pelican. Flying over the ocean, enjoying the view, fishing when I got hungry, floating on the waves when I’m tired. What a life!
Most rewarding thing about your job: Helping to come up with a solution for “unsolvable” problems.
Personality trait you admire in others: Self-discipline, since I have next to none myself.
Three things that mean a lot to you: My
mom’s china, my grandma’s prayer book, and this ratty old robe I’ve had
for a hundred years!
