A few years later, Mazie was offered and accepted a position on the teaching staff at Helene Fuld Hospital School of Nursing. During her teaching tenure, she developed a severe case of rheumatoid arthritis and continued teaching until she was no longer capable of performing her duties. Mazie reluctantly retired in 1990.
