Nurse Has Loved Her Job for 50 Years, as Long as the Hospital Has Been There

The registered nurse whom co-workers have nicknamed “Mrs. SOCH” for her dedication to working with patients and staff at Southern Ocean County Hospital (now Hackensack Meridian Southern Ocean Medical Center) and managing several departments during 50 years is Patricia Muszynski, who is still involved there as she will turn 80 years old this month.

As of Feb. 5, “Pat” Muszynski, of the Ocean Acres section of Stafford Township, has been at Southern Ocean Medical Center for nearly the hospital’s entire history. Now working part-time in the Office of Patient Experience, she is an ambassador/patient advocate.
