It has been my pleasure to work with Staci. We worked great together to create a dermatology clinic; providing medical and surgical care to the VA population of clients. Throughout the time we worked together she always exceeded expectations: obtaining equipment and supplies, providing compassionate, professional, patient-centered care, and acquiring a large fund of dermatological knowledge quickly. Staci is committed to the highest standards of nursing excellent clinical skills.
Staci's patience, integrity, compassion, professionalism, respect, and intelligence created a very positive work experience for me and the patients that we served. She often worked quite late to complete tasks because the clinic had limited space and staff. Despite the shortcomings she always had a positive attitude, making even the most frustrating experiences better. Her dedication to excellence in patient care is a rarity. She demonstrated flexibility and proactive leadership. Patient education and communication is one of her strongest assets that improved treatment outcomes by increased patient compliance. The impact and advocacy she has had are immeasurable and impressive.
I recommend Staci without a reservation as a consummate professional capable of independent practice. She is the best nurse I have worked with during my career as an academic, private practice and employed Dermatologist. Her work ethic and abilities are exceptional.
