Laura Motes - Why Nursing?

Laura Motes shifted careers after over 20 years working for the Athens-Clarke County Police Department to nursing because she wanted to help people in a more direct way. Motes trained with military policemen and women before she joined the police force in her community. She wanted to bring a set of skills that would help people stay safe and protected to the force. She became a Sergeant for the department and helped it sort out its many administrative and investigative tasks throughout its jurisdiction. Motes wanted to shift to the medical field because she thought that the hospital or the clinic was where most people were the most vulnerable and needed the most help.
