Most recently, she worked as a registered nurse in the emergency room at Southampton Memorial Hospital, where her duties included directing and coordinating all nursing care for the patients. She will continue duties in the ER on an as-needed basis.

“I couldn’t wait for the fall semester to begin,” Little said. “I really have enjoyed working with nursing students who were completing clinical hours while at the hospital, so I knew this job would be a good fit.”
