Pamela Smith

Pamela Smith, BSN, RN Surgical Intensive Care Unit Hamilton Medical Center Dalton, Georgia

Pam Smith is an outstanding role model. Her compassionate care and clinical skills is an example of a great nurse. We have observed Pam's interaction with patients & families over the years and she always puts them first. Despite fighting a life threatening battle with a personal disease process always manages to put personal needs aside and with a beautiful smile gives her patients top notch care. Out patients, families, and staff all benefit from Pam's enduring human spirit of kindness and she is one of the most committed co workers we have ever worked with. Willing to always lend a hand to peers and seeks to provide best nursing care for each individual unique patient. Delightful to work with and always has a sunny disposition! One nurse commented, "I feel I am a better nurse having the opportunity to work with Pam!"

Another nurse commented that Pam epitomizes Philippines 4:8;
"Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever
things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are
lovely, whatsoever things are at good report; if those things be any
virtue, and if those be any praise, think on these things."

A patient remarked that he had never had anyone treat him as well as Pam. Class act! Pam is a true example of the service excellence standards and
values of Hamilton. Treats patients like they are family.

Physician comments - Pam is smart compassionate and great to work with. Goes beyond the call of duty for patients, families, and co-workers. Despite
own health issues, focuses on caring for others and avoids drawing
attention to self.

Another patient commented, "Pam is angelic and caring to patients. She does what so many nurses tend to forget about. You just don't see that kind of care as much anymore. I appreciate her for taking such good care of me so that I could be discharged home!"
