erin moore 2020, RN, BSN

Erin was nominated because of her care for a specific patient, a woman dealing with a long hospital stay after a complicated surgery. The patient's stay was even more difficult because she was in the hospital over Christmas.
While caring for her, Erin took a little extra time with her, listening to her, and paying attention to her needs - physical, mental, and emotional. When it became obvious the woman was going to still be in the hospital on Christmas Day, Erin acted.
Erin brought in decorations to bring a festive holiday spirit to the patient's room. This act of kindness made a difference to her patient ? lifting her mood and helping her recovery.
"By the end of their time together, the patient thanked Erin for taking the time to listen and care for her in a compassionate way. She told Erin how her care and attention had made such a difference in her life."
Erin's positive attitude travels with her to every assignment. All her managers and coworkers comment on how it's a joy to work with her.
"She has very strong skills as a med/surg nurse. She really cares about her patients."
