November 2013 Honoree
peaches asuncion, RN
Peaches was very detailed in explaining every procedure she performed and every drug she gave each and every time. However, the reason for this nomination is much simpler than that.
She was the only nurse I had who came in every night and changed my sheets, gave me fresh gowns and supplies to take a decent sponge bath, as I was unable to use the shower. It may seem like a small thing, but being able to get clean when you already don't feel well is priceless.
Her attitude was always cheerful, and she made me laugh with every interaction we had. Her willingness to do what many find a menial task in this day and age with good cheer is priceless in an employee, especially when being around people who are ill, cranky and frightened.

Thank you, Peaches, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
