Debra is very honest, fair, and straightforward, and does not show favoritism. She follows through with what she says. She is an outstanding leader and never shows when she is stressed out. She is very particular about her unit and ensures that everything runs smoothly. She is empathetic and understanding with her nursing staff and looks out for them.

When we are short staffed she takes a load of patients and takes care of them while she is still doing her obligated duties. She stays late stays late just to help out. She stands in the gap between her nurses and patients. She has a compassionate heart and spirit and talks to the patients with a calm manner and compassionate voice. She leads by example, follows policy, and believes in Grandview Medical Center. She is a wealth of knowledge and skills. There is not a skill that she has not mastered. She demonstrates skills to staff instead of just telling us what to do. She keeps us updated on what is going on in the hospital. If she does not have an answer to a situation or question, she goes deeper to find out and comes back to let you know.

Deb is a good listener and pays attention to every detail of your conversation. We are very thankful and blessed to have you as our leader and mother of the unit. Thank you for always being there for us through your guidance and education.
