Erica was caring for a patient who had a court hearing to determine if he would be appointed a state guardian due to his mental illness. During her conversation with the patient, she became aware that the patient had never met the attorney who would be representing him, and that the patient was unaware of his right to attend the hearing. She went above and beyond and contacted both the patient’s mother and attorney to set up a meeting with the patient to discuss the court hearing. Erica displayed great advocacy for her patient and deserves recognition. She is an amazing nurse who genuinely cares for her patients. It was an honor to witness her care and compassion and consider myself lucky to work with such an amazing nurse!
