“I recently came into the hospital after almost being killed by my husband. Beckie made me feel comfortable - like I was not just another person. She comes in smiling and happy. When you have almost lost all hope, and then you have this incredible nurse who makes sure she tells you every time she sees you that you are a strong person and to keep your spirits up. She is a big hearted nurse who deserves this award above all else.

Out of all the care received and all the interactions with staff, Beckie stands out above all others for her positive attitude. She will poke her head in the doorway and smile and wave to me. She is happy all the time. The first thing she does when she comes on shift is to come and see me and give me this big smile. I can tell that she genuinely cares.

I recently had a bad day. I was nervous and worried about my upcoming surgery. But as soon as I saw Beckie’s smile, I was able to smile also. I had not been able to eat prior to surgery. After I came back from my surgery, Beckie brought me a Payday candy bar so I could have something to eat as soon as I got back. Something as small as a candy bar means a lot.

Beckie is a superb nurse. She consistency goes above and beyond and has provided me with the strength I need to heal physically, emotionally and spiritually.”
