Virginia Biddison loves to learn. In her seven years as a registered nurse with RiverView Health’s Inpatient Unit and Emergency Department, she’s trained into positions as lead, preceptor, critical care nurse, second OB nurse, and floor nurse. Virginia’s desire to learn and grow as a professional has benefitted RiverView patients and earned her RiverView’s Employee of the Month honor for October.
“I love working at RiverView because it allows me to continue growing my knowledge and skills in so many various areas that wouldn’t be available in other healthcare settings,” she shared. “I am constantly learning new things and perfecting old things. The people that I work with are amazing, and I love that the goal and focus is on teamwork, supporting each other, and supporting this community.”
Virginia grew up in Niwot, CO, a small suburb of Boulder. She started high school in Colorado but went on to attend two different boarding schools: Dublin Christian Academy in Dublin, NH, and went on to attend and graduate from Cono Christian Boarding Academy in Walker, IA. She earned her Associate of Applied Science in Nursing from Aims College, Greeley, CO.
She and her significant other, Korby, who has a master’s degree in engineering and works in the agricultural design industry, live in Grand Forks with their two boys. Virginia has a 10-year-old son named Elliot, and Korby has a 10-year-old son named Calvin, whom Virginia calls her “bonus son.” She reports that both boys excel at athletics, music, and “being awesome.” Elliot plays guitar, viola, trombone, hockey, and football. Calvin plays trumpet, violin, guitar, baseball, and football.
In their free time, the family spends a lot of time camping and taking their boat out for fishing and recreation. Virginia enjoys reading, playing guitar, crafts, and gardening.
