Michele Levie 2, RN

I was diagnosed with a bacterial blood infection, and I had to receive IV antibiotics daily for 14 days. Michele was there every day, going out of her way to make sure my wife and I were comfortable and had everything we needed. I hate hospitals and anything medical. She thoroughly explained the PICC line, care, and dressing changes. She explained the medication, answered all our questions, and made sure we understood what was happening. She was very patient and understanding with me, as this was a new experience for me. She was always in a good mood and pleasant no matter how busy she was. She made sure I felt like a person, not just another patient or just a job. Michele is a great asset to NNRH!

I came to get an iron supplement and witnessed a nurse taking care of a child who was there for chemotherapy, and it touched my heart. She never wavered from her positive attitude. I think this woman deserves this award every day, as she told me about her own daughter’s battle with cancer. Not only did that child battle cancer, but this nurse is battling cancer on behalf of her patients daily with a positive attitude and a smile. Thank you for the care you showed that child. You touched my heart and the Lord's. God bless you.
