December 2025 Honoree
Uche Akunne, BSN, RN
She is a travel nurse, and she was my day shift nurse. After crying from ambulating from the bed to the bathroom, my first nurse just looked at me while the aids helped me.
Uche was the following nurse and showed me care and compassion, and asked if I needed anything. I mentioned I stunk, and she offered me a bed bath with warm water and soap. She respected me and helped care for me without infantilizing me. She was like an older sister. I enjoyed our conversations, and her overall personality was great to have

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