My father just spent a couple of days at Mid Coast Hospital in Brunswick. We had the absolute pleasure of hosting a young lady named Maleah on Monday. I was astonished by her bedside manner for someone her age. One would have thought she was a seasoned nurse. It was evident to us that she is studying and working hard to develop the skills she needs to be a great nurse.

If you have not seen her in action, you should. She is a great representation for your nursing program. Although I do not know her, I am excited about the career she will have and the lives she will impact. I just thought it was incredibly important that she be recognized for the amazing job she is doing.

By representing UMA and the nursing profession with such maturity and grace, Maleah exemplifies the profound impact nurses can have on those they care for.
