Oldest working nurse in Americagets heartwarming surprise for 90th birthday
Sixty may be the average retirement age, but Florence"SeeSee" Rigney can't see why.
Well, that's not entirely true. She did officially retire at age67, but it lasted only five months.
As she explained to NBCaffiliate King5, "I stayed retired for about five months, then I cameback, and here I am."
Today,at age 90, she's the United States' oldest practicing nurse, still wanderingthe halls of Tacoma General Hospital, setting up the operating room and makingher fellow nurses smile.
"She runs circles around allof us," Sheri Morris, assistant nurse manager, told TODAY.com. "She'sa wealth of wisdom and knowledge, and we absolutely love her."
It was Morris and her director,Paula Swanson, who first had the idea to throw Rigney a surprise birthday bash.They put their heads together and realized that Rigney had taken the day offfor her birthday on May 8, so they decided to have the celebration on the 7th.
"We had to dosomething," Morris said. "She'd had over six decades of service atthe hospital. How could we not honor that?"
What'smore, Rigney â whose childhood nickname has stuck over all these years â hasn'tchanged stations since 1946, when she began her career as a student nurse atTacoma General School of Nursing.
"She always knew she wantedto be a nurse," explained Morris. "Over the past almost-century, sheended up in a few different places in the U.S., and at times drifted away fromTacoma General Hospital to spend time with her husband or kids for a year ortwo, but she always came back here."
Morris has become quite theauthority on Rigney's story.
"I came up with the idea towrite to the governor and send along her bio, so that he might considerhonoring her for her service. So I needed to get some of the facts fromher," said Morris. "I asked her for some information, telling her thatI just wanted to share her story with a local organization."
"She came back to me with 17pages of handwritten notes, dates, and exact months," she added.
In thevideo posted on YouTube after the surprise, Morris points out that all thehospital "bigwigs" were in attendance on the day of the surprise,including the CEO, who handed her a bouquet of flowers (to complement the tiaraand sash she'd already been given). Rigney's children even arrived for thesurprise, and a majority of the hospital staff came out to celebrate her bigday, too.
And Morris' letter to thegovernor was a success. SeeSee received a birthday note from him honoring herfor her achievements.
"I can't believe it," SeeSee says toward the end of the video."90 years ago, I came into this world. And here I am."
