Katina works in a specialized Cardiac ICU caring for very ill patients. She answers the families questions, while providing them with support and guidance during a very difficult time.”

…Pam will leave her shift and go to our mom’s house, who is in 24-hour care and check and care for her…She also visits and helps her sister who is in a skilled nursing facility for a brain injury. There are numerous calls all the time to doctors and insurance for both of them. She also is always available for advice to loved ones and friends when there is a medical issue. I know because she has helped me and I am her sister. Pam is a strong girl with a heart of gold and along with all nurses. I appreciate her compassion. Pam has taught me to take one day at a time. especially during this last year.

She is the most caring person I have ever met. If anyone was meant to be a nurse, it was Sam!”

“My wife, Kim is a home care RN nurse. She visits her patients every day, sun, rain or snow. Her schedule keeps her busy 5 days a week, plus weekends and “on call” on a regular basis. COVID-19 or not, she is there to service and care for her patients. She is my hero.“

“I worked with a really incredible nurse Meghan Krushinski. … She primarily cared for the elderly during the pandemic, and she went into that facility, gave it her 100%  She carries on each and everyday with a sense of humor and positive outlook despite all the lives that were lost right in front of her. Even after a traumatic event she worked hard to boost her coworkers moral with acts of kindness.”

” I have worked with Chris for 20 years and she is the epitome of a professional, caring nurse. She treats each patient with compassion and dedication…She is very attentive to detail and following proper procedures. She handles the daily pressures of being a floor nurse with dignity and poise.

She is also a wonderful team player and informal leader on the floor. Her willing and pleasant attitude makes her very approachable to ask for assistance.

Chris is also a gifted mentor to new nurses. She is called upon to perform this role often as she has a wealth of knowledge and experience.  She leads by example.

I have often thought, “This girl was made to be a nurse!!” I am grateful she has been an integral part of my own nursing career. I have learned quite a bit from her and continue to do so.”

“My mom has worked with Covid patients for the past 10 months..working long 12 hour night shifts while having a busy family at home who also need her. This virus has disrupted my senior year of high school, graduation and my freshman year of college. My mom has done her best to make everything as special as she can. I truly appreciate her hard work for her patients and the community. Her family recognizes her efforts.”

“Melissa worked hard to become a nurse. She started working and COVID hit. Her caring and gentle touch has made her a patient favorite. She says her coworkers send her to the difficult patients because she is the “nice one”. She deserves a little recognition for all her hard work and love that she spreads to people with her beautiful smile and loving heart. I am a very proud Mom.“
