Darlene creates an environment of unity and respect, and she encourages professional development for her nurses. In times of distress and uncertainty, she can easily be reached and responds to our needs. She has provided the love and support that makes us feel better and more secure to do our duties and responsibilities as nurses in the community. Her experience, nurturing nature, and knowledge make us confident that every decision is for the benefit and safety of our nurses. She speaks on our behalf for any grievances that may arise with our daily visits and the peril that may arise. Her compassion has made her more complete as a leader. I just love her as a leader, and moreover as a person.
