michele cross, RN, BSN, CEN, CPEN

Michele is a wonderful, compassionate and caring nurse. She always goes above and beyond. We had a very busy day in the ER and a mother arrived with three small children under the age of five. The mother was sick and needed to be examined and treated. Michele volunteered to care for this woman's children while the mother could not. She set up coloring books, crafts, snacks and entertained the children with television. Although that might not be part of the job description, Michele did so-joyfully. She stayed calm and provided a safe and comfortable environment for this momma's children.

Michele is a great nurse, and cares not only for the patient but also the family. Her care is remembered by those in the community and is the reason patients return to FMEC as their first choice.
