November 2024 Honoree
Julie Schwichtenberg, RN
I came in with a terrible infection and was put on antibiotics and pain medications via IV. Julie monitored my IV closely in case she had any concerns because I was poked many times and was a hard stick. She also made sure to try and keep my pain under control throughout the night. On my final night, I was very itchy and broke out in hives. Julie called for extra Benadryl to keep me as comfortable as possible. I was alone because my boyfriend was not able to spend the night with me, and Julie knew I was scared and hurting. She helped me several times, made sure I had lotion on my back, and frequently checked on me throughout the night, and that meant the world. Julie is an amazing nurse and deserves to know that.
Thank you, Julie, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
