When I think about this nurse, what comes to mind is how she represents Children's values, caring about people, and is passionate about kids. She has an excellent work ethic, and compassion is the reason for this nomination. When we think of nursing at times, we forget that it's not only about the medical aspect of it, but as well, at times, the social aspect of it. Working in the ED is definitely a stressful environment, and if you add the social issues that at times present, it will either break you or make you. This nurse has exemplified that no matter what the patient's background or social issues are, she will always give 100% to them.

In this case a social work issue presented to the ED, at first the complaint was medical but then soon took a turn into a social concern. As events started unfolding this nurse was always there to care for and comfort patients. She made sure that the patients felt at ease and comfortable while in the ED. She demonstrated professionalism, compassion, and dedication to better when dealing with Law enforcement, social work, and DFACS. She made a 1:1 with the patients, so they could receive her undivided attention.

This situation just showed that with her short time as a Nurse, she has gained so much knowledge and exemplifies Children's values, caring about people, passionate about kids, and always dedicated to better.
