Molly Solis, BSN, RN

In a time when so many are walking away from the profession, Molly is the reason why people like me are running toward it. Molly was my preceptor for 5 weeks, and I still can’t believe how lucky I was to learn from her. She’s the kind of nurse who makes you pause and think, “This is exactly the kind of nurse I want to become.”

Every day, Molly walked into each patient’s room with calm confidence and a warm, steady presence, always smiling and always prepared. I watched her connect with patients so naturally, explaining things in a way that made them feel truly seen, heard, and respected. You could see their trust in her build almost instantly.

No matter how intense or overwhelming the shift became, she never let it affect the way she treated them. Every single patient received the same level of care, attention, and kindness.

But what impacted me the most was how she treated me. As a student, I’m still learning and often unsure of myself, yet she never made me feel small. She welcomed my questions, celebrated my small wins, and guided me through my mistakes without ever making me feel like I didn’t belong.

She didn’t just teach me skills; she taught me confidence.
