Julie exudes quality clinical skills, and her compassionate care exemplifies the kind of nurse that all patients, families, and staff recognize as an outstanding role model in the care she delivers every day at work. One such instance of compassionate care was displayed towards a patient's wife. She was stressed over her husband's admission and seemed to be forgetful often when she visited. She did not have a ride one evening after a visit.

Julie offered to give her a ride home and made sure she was safe in her house. The wife had locked herself out, and this honoree walked her to her back door, which she had left unlocked. This honoree explained she should be locking her door to keep safe and staying with this person until she knew she was safe inside. Not only does this nurse show compassion to her patients, but extends it to their families!
