Devra LeFevre, R.N.
Devra LeFevre, RNC-OB, has been a nurse at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Stephenville since the week after she graduated from nursing school 17 years ago. She is currently the director of Women's Services at the hospital, and says it is her co-workers that keep her satisfied in her work.
"The people I work with are fantastic," she says. "We have such a strong bond."
When asked about her longevity at the hospital, LeFevre is quick to point out the benefits of nursing at Texas Health.
"Here at Texas Health Stephenville, we consider ourselves family taking care of family. And by working with my colleagues at other Texas Health hospitals on various committees, I've found that to be true throughout the system," she says. "Plus, Texas Health offers so many opportunities for growth, such as the Mentor Program, tuition reimbursement and the career advancement program for bedside nurses. It really is a blessing to be a Texas Health nurse."
