Ann Marie has worked in this hospital for over thirty-six years. Ann Marie has worked as a floor nurse, Nursing Supervisor, GI nurse, ICU nurse, and PACU nurse. Ann Marie has a magical way of making her patients feel special. She is close with her family and feels like her patients should have their family members close by too. Ann Marie has had her share of surgery and she uses these experiences to anticipate patients’ needs. I recall last fall Ann Marie had a young breast cancer patient. Ann Marie sat down next to the patient, cared for this patient’s pain and nausea, and patiently medicated the patient until she felt better. She explained to the patient this sometimes happens in the PACU and we have medicine to help her feel better. Ann Marie is hardworking, patient, and kind. She initiated nursing bedside report several years ago. It was initially an idea that was met with some resistance from staff members. Ann Marie remained strong and positive about her idea. Today, it is part of our practice and improves patient care.
