与Renee Smith，注册护士，MSN，居家护理执行董事的13个问题
10/27/2016
有很多很好的理由让你追随父母的脚步. 找一个能直接告诉你工作细节的人, and what it takes to get your foot in the door, or how to move up the ladder. For Renee Smith, RN, MSN and Executive Director of In-Home Care at Day Kimball Hospital, that’s just the way it happened. Renee’s mother, Elizabeth, 是戴·金博尔家庭护理部门的一名护士，并招募了她的女儿加入她的行列. 蕾妮接受了母亲的建议，于1997年加入戴金博尔家庭护理中心，担任初级护理护士, 她和她母亲一起在田里工作了几年，直到她母亲退休.
So it would seem natural for Renee’s daughter Rachael, 21, to choose to follow in her mother’s footsteps too. And she has, but it’s not what you might think. “她不想和体液有任何关系，也不想在公司工作!” Renee laughed. 瑞秋选择了一条不太传统的道路，她没有从事医学事业, as her mother and grandmother did, 最近从约翰逊大学毕业后搬到了洛杉矶 & 威尔士大学去追求她在音乐行业的职业梦想! 那么，这和那句老话“有其母必有其女”有什么关系呢?”
You see, Renee is deeply passionate about music too, and just attended Revolution Rock, an all-day rock festival, at Foxwoods Resort and Casino with her husband, Brian. 但她对音乐的热爱在很久以前就开始了，那时她和女儿差不多大.
那是80年代中期，高中毕业后的那个夏天，即将进入大学. Renee, a self-proclaimed “hipster,收拾好行李，出发去参加感恩而死乐队的夏季巡演, a band she has continued to follow for the last 3 decades. 那年夏天，蕾妮跟随乐队走遍了全国, 她回忆起他们在红石露天剧场举办的最喜欢的演出, just outside of Denver, Colorado. “那是我当时离家最远的一次旅行. I absolutely loved the mountains and scenery. 他们的节目总是那么有趣和无忧无虑，每个人都很友好和和平. 有这样一种社区意识，我立即与在我旁边跳舞的人成为朋友!” she said.
蕾妮回到家乡，继续在康涅狄格大学就读, where she remained on the Dean’s List, despite her frequent road trips to tour with the Dead. 她仍然尽可能多地参加感恩而死乐队的演唱会, 最近的一次是去年夏天和她的朋友克里西在波士顿芬威公园看了两场演出.
