Bella has been a part of Newark Wayne Hospital for a short time, but she already has made such a significant influence. In 2021, Bella began her nursing career, and she quickly excelled. Bella joined 2 West as a recent graduate and quickly earned a reputation as the unit's enthusiastic learner. She quickly discovered a love for providing her patients with the "best nurse that she could be." She genuinely valued feedback since she understood it would give her the chance to perform even higher in her role. Aside from how great a nurse Bella aspired to be, she had no idea she was already a great nurse and had such an impact on patient care and her colleagues.

She is involved with both her patients and her coworkers. She takes the time to ensure that the staff who care for our patients are also taken care of. Bella’s traits she exhibits day in and day out make a difference in our small community hospital. It didn't take long for providers and ancillary staff to ask, "Bella, is she a traveler because she is amazing!" She was being recognized left and right for her clinical expertise, positive attitude, and drive to provide the best care possible to her patients.

Bella desired more after some time spent settling into the nursing world. Bella became the CNL of 2 West approximately 6 months ago and has truly made a difference in the lives of both patients and staff. She strives to make the best decisions at all times, selflessly keeping everyone in mind to ensure quality and fairness.

Bella has made a significant difference in the day-to-day operations of 2 West. Her perseverance and eagerness to handle all tasks, no matter how difficult, with a smile has been truly appreciated. As Bella always says to her team, “You’re so perfect!” and the team feels the same about her. Thank you for your commitment to 2 West Bella; the patients and team adore you!!
