Claribel used her personal break time between appointments to ensure her veteran received the care and treatment she needed.
This nurse went above and beyond providing patient care and support. The veteran presented for an RN appointment with a walker that was not functional, and the veteran struggled to use it. This nurse took the veteran in a wheelchair to prosthetics for a same-day appointment. After finding out a provider order was needed, this nurse found a provider to place the prosthetics order so that the veteran could have her walker fixed and not miss the prosthetics walk-in appointment. This nurse used her personal break time between appointments to ensure her veteran received the care and treatment she needed. This nurse is always going above and beyond for Veterans.
