May 2025 Honoree
Kaylene Munoz, BSN
She received this award from a patient who wrote:
“I have received the utmost patient care from Nurse Kaylene, RN, ever as a Veteran. All my expectations were met above and beyond. She is a very respectful and compassionate person. I cannot thank her well enough over her service to me.”
For Kaylene, this recognition feels especially meaningful because she simply showed up with consistency, empathy, and true presence.
She believes that extraordinary care often comes from ordinary moments: pausing to listen, offering comfort, advocating quietly, and treating every patient as a whole person rather than a task to complete.
Caring for this Veteran reaffirmed why she chose nursing in the first place. Each interaction, whether managing symptoms, easing worries, or sharing a calm moment at the bedside, was a chance to honor his service by providing her own.
His heartfelt nomination strengthened her commitment to meeting every patient with dignity, sincerity, and compassion.
