Dawn is a role model for nursing and we look up to her and her motivation.
Dawn is our Director of Nursing and she is a compassionate leader and role model. We have witnessed tough conversations she has had with families and she always leads the conversation with kindness and understanding. She is also there for us when we need to debrief about a difficult situation, such as a child passing away. She is a champion of palliative care and supports our team and us. COVID has made things more difficult for all of us this year and we don't get to see her as much, but we appreciate her continuing to check in with us. She is a role model for nursing and we look up to her and her motivation. She has spent the last few months leading our organization through COVID and we appreciate all that she and the COVID Command Team have done to keep us and the children we serve as safe as possible. You would never know that she does all the things she does by the way she acts and her calm demeanor. We greatly appreciate her and all that she does for ChildServe!
