Ask anyone of our residents or staff on 7 East and I promise we will all say the same. We love Andrea and we would not be the floor that we are without her.
There are so many reasons that I could list to say just how amazing and knowledgeable and caring and generous and wonderful of a nurse Andrea is but, I’m gonna try my best to keep this as short and to the point as I can.
I’ve had the privilege of working here at Alexian with her for several years now. I’ve seen her on her worst days here and some of her best days here and the one thing that’s always stayed consistent with her no matter the day or situation is her level of care for her residents. When it comes to her residents she always strives to put them first, even when she’s off and not at work, she’s constantly checking on them, worrying about them, and loving them. Not just them but their families. She does whatever it takes to always do her best, every day. I could tell so many stories of situations with residents and their families that I’ve witnessed her go out of her way to give them the best care but, that will take days to list them all and she does it all without ever wanting or accepting thank you's or compliments.
Every time someone says thank you or tries to remind her just how grateful every resident and staff is for her on 7 East her response is always the same, “I don’t need a thank you, I’m just doing my job.” She’s very humble. She doesn’t like the spotlight. She just wants to do her job and do her best and give her residents the utmost care that they need and deserve without any kind of recognition. She just loves being a nurse and doing her best at her job every day. I know that’s all the reward she needs but, I think she deserves more. That’s why I nominated her for the DAISY Award!
I promise you will not find a better floor nurse than her. Ask anyone of our residents or staff on 7 East and I promise we will all say the same. We love her and we would not be the floor that we are without her. She’s one of the best nurses I’ve ever had the chance to work with.
On top of being the best nurse, her work ethic is always above par, she hardly ever calls in and always tries to pick up extra shifts, and even through COVID never hesitated to do whatever was asked of her! She’s been one of the nurses who have stuck it out, she’s worked here for years and has given Alexian her very best. I’m proud to have her as my coworker and my friend and I know my floor and our residents are so very lucky to have her. We definitely wouldn’t be the same without her!
