Lauren Screnci was in the first hour of her first-ever shift as a nurse at Saint Vincent's Hospital, the nearest trauma center to the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.

"I think that being a new nurse and being in that type of environment for me, it just drove home that this is where I was meant to be. I was meant to be there at that time for whatever that reason was, that's what it was for me," she told 1010 WINS.

Screnci continues as a nurse now at Morristown Medical Center but says she will never forget one thing - that hundreds of staffers raced to be ready for victims of the attack, but no ambulances ever arrived.
