🎉 Happy Nurses Week! This week, we're celebrating the dedicated nurses who are at the heart of everything we do. Today we're proud to spotlight Ellen Martinez-Cue, BSN.
Ellen's journey to nursing was far from a straight line — and that's what makes her story so compelling. She earned a BA in Political Science from Seton Hall University and a paralegal certification from Montclair State before spending several years in personal injury law. When she chose to pivot to healthcare, she did it with full commitment: earning her BSN from Bloomfield College School of Nursing in 1993, making the dean's list twice while working full time as a CNA and phlebotomist. That kind of determination says everything about who she is.
Over the decades, Ellen has brought her skills to a wide range of settings — pediatrics, occupational health, healthcare education, long-term care, and now home care and hospice. Each chapter has added to the depth of knowledge and empathy she brings to patients and families every day.
When she's not working, Ellen enjoys cooking, gardening, classic rock, and spending time with family and friends back in New Jersey. She's also a diehard Yankees fan — and somehow, a Boston Bruins fan too. We'll leave that one alone. ⚾🏒
Ellen, thank you for the decades of service, the resilience, and the genuine care you bring to this work. We are honored to have you on our team.
💚
