At Your Service

Western New York Developmental Disabilities Services Office (DDSO)

TIP: "You must set a goal, be dedicated, and remain focused on it. You have to give up leisure time, replace it with study time, and block out distractions. Work hard to accomplish your goals; every time you accomplish something, you earn a little more respect which allows you to have some input in the decision-making process towards improving your work environment."

Sharon Dolan has been working for New York State since 2001. She began her career as an LPN and has been working as a Senior LPN 2 for the last 2½ years as the evening supervisor of a medical group home.

Sharon continued to work full-time while attending school as a full-time student. She earned an Associate's Degree in Nursing from Jamestown Community College in May 2006. She is licensed by the State of New York. While Sharon's primary goal is to work as a Registered Nurse (RN) for the DDSO, she is currently employed as an RN supervisor at the Chautauqua County nursing facility.

Sharon acknowledged that her husband was very supportive, sacrificing their leisure time together while she attended school and worked full-time. When the pre-exam stress arrived, he encouraged her to relax and go on.

To help offset her higher education costs, Sharon has used the Partnership's Advisement Services, Tuition Benefits, Targeted Tuition Benefits, and Exam Reimbursement programs. For her hard work, Sharon was selected as Western NY DDSO's employee of the month in February 2008.
