Women of Distinction Magazine Selects Terri L. Cox as a Distinguished Professional in Her Field

    CLEVELAND, OH, December 30, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Terri L. Cox, Licensed Practical Nurse at Life Care of Cleveland, has been recognized as a Distinguished Professional in her field through Women of Distinction Magazine. Terri L. Cox will be featured in the upcoming edition of the Women of Distinction Magazine in 2015/2016.

Working to become a Certified Nursing Assistant in 1991, Terri L. Cox graduated two years later and immediately began working toward her Licensed Practical Nurse designation, only to take some time off due to health related issues. But by 2001, she was able to sit for the board exam and she passed. Working in the field ever since, Ms. Cox credits her 24-plus successful years in healthcare to a strong faith in God, a love for people, and a desire to see them get well.

"There are days that nursing can be one of the most frustrating careers on the planet, but on the flip side, it can also be one of the most rewarding," Ms. Cox said. "When a resident goes home after months of therapy and care, and they stop you in the hall with tears in their eyes to say thank you for all of your help, it makes your job worthwhile."

As a Night Shift Nurse for Life Care of Cleveland, a nursing home and rehabilitation facility in Tennessee, Ms. Cox handles basic tasks each night, does charting for her shift, prepares for the morning shift that will relieve her the next day, prepares paperwork for lab work, and other various tasks, as well as caring for patients.

Looking forward to working toward her RN at the age of 44, Ms. Cox is ready for the next stage in her career. A published author, she wrote a book, entitled, 'The Danger of Playing Hide and Seek'. It's a story about how we, as adults, replicate the game of Hide and Seek in our daily walk with God, how we hide behind things that we feel are shielding and protecting us, but in reality are harming and keeping us from the destiny that God has planned for our lives from the time we took our very first breath. The book was released in 2012 through WestBow Press. Also, very much involved with her church, for the past three years Ms. Cox has helped Dwelling Place Church International through its yearly community outreach known as Life Clinic, which provides free medical, vision, chiropractic, food, and other much needed services in the community. She has served at Dwelling Place Church International/Life Clinic as the Medical Team Leader for the past three years recruiting doctors and nurses to offer their services for the day, acquiring other volunteers to help, such as nursing students from area universities, and providing much needed screenings and services for the community. She has also been Leader of Chain Breakers Jail Ministry since 2011 through Dwelling Place Church International. This ministry reaches out to the local jail, mainly the women, through bible study, singing, testimony, and prayer time.
