Julie is a compassionate, dedicated, and friendly individual who has been with the Bay Park ICU team since its beginning. I have had the honor of working with her for the past 16 years, and it has made our jobs so much more than clocking in and out. We have developed a lifelong friendship that resonates in the workplace and beyond.

She has a gentle demeanor and shows kindness to everyone. She is a fabulous listener and can make people feel at ease, even when it's crazy busy. In addition to her warm presence, she is wise and has years of experience in critical care. You can be sure she will do her best on each night shift that she works. She assumes the role of charge nurse, assists others, has a positive attitude, and rarely complains. When nights get tough (and boy do they!), you can be sure the shift will be much more tolerable with Julie on the team.

It’s tough to pinpoint specific instances to share because there are so many, but she consistently makes her patients feel at ease. She provides safe, quality care with the intention of positive outcomes for every patient. Her soothing voice and warm smile will uplift anyone.

I cannot express how lucky we are to have her as a coworker. Patients benefit immensely from her dedication, knowledge, and respect. She is brave, dedicated, and has a heart of gold. Keep up the stellar work, my friend!
