Laura Motes isn’t a nurse yet. She has completed all of the
prerequisites to begin her Master’s degree in nursing from Georgia
Regents University and plans on starting classes in the fall of 2016.
She is prepared to enter the medical profession on the strength of her
sense of duty to her community and her experience working for the Athens Regional Medical Center and Managed Medical Transport. Motes has always
been committed to helping her community by keeping it safe as a police
officer, now she hopes to help the community by keeping the people in it
healthy.
Laura Motes spent 20 years working for the Athens-Clarke County Police Department. She started as a patrol officer in the Athens area, helping to ensure that crime is prevented whenever possible and that the streets and residents of the area are as safe as possible. Motes left the police force as a Sergeant in the West Precinct administration. She helped coordinate crime scene investigations, manage office personnel and officers on the street, and work with department leadership to ensure that all rules and regulations are being followed by all officers on the streets at all times.
Laura Motes then left the department because she wanted a more hands-on experience. She found said experience while working for six months with Managed Medical Transport and the Athens Regional Medical Center. Motes learned much from her time there, including how to serve and assist doctors, physicians, and other medical professionals in their duties and responsibilities to their patients with all kinds of medical conditions and ailments. She plans on using this experience during her studies as a Master’s degree candidate at Georgia Regents University in the fall of 2016.
Laura Motes works hard to keep herself in shape and healthy. Her passion recently has been distance runs of five kilometers or more. She has competed in several 5Ks in the area in the past and she plans on continuing her training to run marathons in the future. Motes hopes that her expertise as a nurse will put her in a position to help instill healthy habits in patients that could prevent serious medical conditions like heart disease and more. With too many Americans suffering from preventable diseases like adult-onset diabetes and obesity, especially in rural Georgia, where she lives, the more healthy habits she can instill in people around her community, the better.
Laura Motes believes that her calling is in the local healthcare system because she cares about the health and life of everyone around her in her community. She has always been there for her neighbors, protecting them from crime and investigating. She also helped keep the police force itself honest during her time in the Athens-Clarke County Police Department, reporting on alleged incidents of officer misconduct and other issues frequently besetting all police departments around the world.
