Denise is a nurse manager on the 6th floor and mostly acts as Charge Nurse. She is quick to respond when her staff needs assistance. She is a pillar of calm and direction in the face of adversity, using her calm demeanor to help de-escalate difficult patients or situations. She is an asset in any emergency situation, using her 10 years of experience to quickly evaluate patient needs and expedite care. She also has a great amount of compassion for her patients. She always keeps $100-$300 cash on hand so that she can buy necessary medications or a taxi fee for those patients in financial need. I believe her to be a pillar of exemplary nursing care.
