Erin Hinkle, RN, BSN, has been with UofL Health – Heart Hospital for a year and a half. While with Heart Hospital, Erin has worked on the VAD and heart transplant floor (5 Towers) and has been a registered nurse, relief charge nurse and preceptor.
Erin loves being a part of UofL Health. Her favorite thing about UofL Health is the opportunities she is afforded to grow as a nurse. Erin hopes to increase her professional knowledge and training while expanding her education.
What inspires Erin to continue to learn every day is that she wants to exceed what she did the day before.
“I’m always looking to get better every day and be the best nurse I can be,” Erin said.
One quote that motivates Erin to keep pushing even when times are tough is, “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are,” spoken by Theodore Roosevelt.
Erin grew up in Lewisport, Kentucky, and attended Hancock County High School. She went on to study biology at Lindsey Wilson College and then attended Northern Kentucky University where she received her bachelor of science in nursing.
