marie hospodavis, BSN, RN-BC

... "Resourceful, pleasant, and helpful are just a few words that describe Marie. She is a leader and balances the duties of charge nurse while supporting staff however they need it. Nothing is beneath her; she willingly gives a bath, turns patients, and gives medication, often helping without being asked.

Marie builds a relationship with her patients and their families as soon as she begins to interact with them. They are immediately comfortable with her, trust in her judgement, and sense her experience. When a patient needs something, Marie will go the extra mile to get it. Although resources are sometimes at a minimum on weekends, she knows how to make things happen, finding a certain kind of meal, rare nursing supply, or extra people to care for a patient."
