Meet...Jane Name: Jane Hodges Lilley. Department: Surgical Oncology. How long at MUSC: 2 years. Family: Fiancé, Dave (to be married in July); a Jack Russell puppy, Gunner. What inspired you to become a nurse: A desire to care for those in need and to be in an ever-changing learning environment, where I see how advances in medicine save patients’ lives. Most rewarding thing about being a nurse: Touching the lives of patients and their families. What is your biggest challenge at work: To stay calm and not stress when the day gets busy and hectic; working when the unit is understaffed. Activities in your free time: I love to water ski, snow ski, rock climb, rollerblade, and take my dog to Folly Beach.  Favorite reading: The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks; I love to read Coastal Living magazine. Fondest childhood memory: During my summers growing up, working and picking strawberries in our family-owned strawberry patch with my little brother and cousins. Bad habit: Burning things when I cook. Best advice you’ve received: ”Life is 10 percent what happens to you and 90 percent how you react to it.” –My dad. Something you tried once and will never do again: Tequila.     Friday, May 21, 2004 Catalyst Online is published weekly, updated as needed and improved from time to time by the MUSC Office of Public Relations for the faculty, employees and students of the Medical University of South Carolina.
