ALUMNI PROFILE ~ Samuel Klos, SHS 2013
Sam attended Buchanan Elementary, Riley Upper Elementary, Holmes Middle School, and Stevenson High School (2013). He graduated from Wayne State University’s College of Nursing in 2019 with a Bachelor’s in the Science of Nursing (BSN).
He started at St. Mary Mercy Hospital in 2014 working in the kitchen, became a Patient Care Technician (PCT) in 2016, and started as an RN on the Cardiac unit in 2019.
Regarding working at the hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic, Sam said, “I had only been an RN for 10 months when COVID-19 cases started filling the hospital. 3 East, the unit I work on, became the first designated COVID-19 unit in the hospital. As patient acuity rose, my colleagues and I were given crash courses on how to manage patients on ventilators and medications we were not used to using. We were fortunate enough to have adequate supplies of PPE which was not the case at other facilities across the country. While many of us were scared, the Livonia community kept our spirits up with plenty of food and words of affirmation. I am thankful to be able to serve and continue to serve the people of this community.”
