I received an email from a patient Ashlee had taken care of. This is what they had to say:

I wanted to let you know what a great nurse Ashlee Nanney is. She was my nurse for a procedure I had two weeks ago. I was a little apprehensive about my post-op, but she took the time to explain everything that would happen and what to expect. She was very attentive. She told me that her daughter had the same procedure and tips and tricks they had to make her more comfortable during her recovery. She answered all my questions and addressed all of my concerns. She spent a lot of time making sure I was comfortable. She did a really great job! I just wanted to pass on some compliments because, far too often, we hear complaints instead of compliments. Thanks for all the great care."

As a manager, it is rewarding to receive an email like this. I personally have witnessed Ashlee’s fantastic bedside manner and care for her patients.

Ashlee has worked at Memorial Hospital for two years as an LPN in the Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC). When asked what she likes most about her job, she said she enjoys meeting new people and listening to their stories about their lives. "There are so many interesting people in the community," exclaimed Ashlee. "I'm grateful to work at a facility with so many other extraordinary nurses!"
