February 2015 Honoree
cheryl pittman, BSN, RN, CCRN
Cheryl truly embodies all it is to be a great nurse. If I am unsure or need validation, I know I can go to Cheryl for a respectful and mindful response. Her calming presence is essential on our busy unit. She never complains about busy days or lending an extra hand.
Recently we admitted a very sick patient with a congenital heart defect. We never know what to expect when this type of patient comes from the OR. Cheryl approached the admission with confidence. Her preparedness facilitated a smooth transition from the OR, allowing physicians to communicate their needs and for the nurses to complete the tasks in a timely manner. Ultimately, this teamwork allowed the family to be reunited with their child sooner.

Thank you, Cheryl, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
