Angela Lynn Rapley was born and raised in St. Louis Missouri. She knew from an
early age that she wanted to help people, so she set her sights on being a
nurse. She went to the University of Missouri and graduated from the College
of Nursing as an RN. Not long after her graduation, she passed her NCLEX
(National Council Licensure Examination) and got a job at the SSM Cardinal
Glennon Children’s Hospital, also in her native St. Louis Missouri.
Five years ago, Angela married her husband, and a year later they were blessed
with a daughter, who is now four years old. Though her job as an RN at the
Children’s hospital and her family keep her very busy, she also makes time to
volunteer. She volunteers at World Impact, an organization that brings Church
homes to those in inner city areas. She also volunteers at a local soup
kitchen, feeding the homeless in St. Louis.
Angela Lynn Rapley is also very passionate about exercise. She enjoys
running, biking, hiking and swimming. She has begun training and hopes to be
able to compete in an Ironman Triathlon soon. One of the reasons she enjoys
running, biking and hiking is because it gives her a chance to enjoy being in
nature, something that helps her relax and unwind from the stresses of her
job.
Angela Lynn Rapley also enjoys taking her family for trips to the mountains
and the beach, so they can bond as family and teach her daughter to love the
outdoors. She will often bring a book to the beach to read as she relaxes by
the waves. Her favorite books are mysteries and biographies, but she enjoys
other genres as well. She loves to use an e-reader for when she is traveling,
but prefers the weight of a real book she can write in the margins of when
she’s in the comfort of her own home.
With ten years of nursing experience under her belt, Angela Lynn Rapley is
beginning to feel like she is making a difference in the world as a registered
nurse. Though the hours are long and the job can be stressful, the reward of
helping others is more than enough for her. She hopes to teach her daughter to
have compassion for others and to dedicate her life to serving those who are
in need.
