Ms. Currie joined St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in 2023 as executive leader for the institution’s nursing services, just as the division began planning for obtaining a third consecutive Magnet designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center. In 2025, Ms. Currie’s division not only retained Magnet status, but also received the elite “Magnet with Distinction” classification attained by only the top 1% of hospitals in the U.S. There were also special recognitions for the nurse residency program, which has yielded 98% retention of new nurses, and for the Center of Advanced Practice, both of which achieved the “Advanced Practice Transition to Practice Certification with Distinction”. Hailing from England, Ms. Currie wanted to be a nurse since early childhood.
