As a journalist, I have often come across the idea that individual commitment to a group effort is what drives success in all aspects of life. This sentiment is perfectly exemplified by Shannon Proulx, LPN in RiverView Health’s Internal Medicine Department, and Dr. Bosun Fashoro.
Shannon’s journey at RiverView began in high school, where she started working in the dietary department before gaining her LPN. She then spent about five years at Glenmore Recovery (now RiverView Recovery Center) before transitioning to her current role at RiverView’s Crookston Clinic. Even after starting at the clinic, Shannon continued to work weekends at Glenmore for a few more years, showcasing her strong work ethic and commitment to helping others.
Shannon is a native and resident of Crookston and shares her life with her significant other, Nate Magsam, and their blended family. Together they have children ranging from 16 to 24 years old, as well as their dog, Nelly. The family enjoys spending time at their cabin on Island Lake, where Shannon finds respite and fulfills her dream of living by a lake full-time. In her free time, Shannon enjoys ice fishing, running, and walking Nelly, cherishing moments with her loved ones.
Recently, Shannon was recognized as Employee of the Month for May due to her dedication to teamwork and providing excellent care. Upon receiving the award, she expressed her surprise and gratitude for the recognition while also expressing how fortunate she feels to work alongside some of the best nurses and doctors at RiverView Health. Dr. Fashoro has been particularly instrumental in teaching Shannon valuable lessons over the years that have helped shape her into an outstanding nurse who is committed to making a difference in people’s lives every day.
In conclusion, individual commitment to a group effort is what drives success in any aspect of life; this sentiment rings true when looking at the success story of Shannon Proulx and Dr. Bosun Fashoro in their roles as LPNs at RiverView Health’s Internal Medicine Department.
