Valerie is a phenomenal RN who exemplifies the nursing ideals consistent with our mission at The Miriam Hospital and our Magnet hospital status. Valerie and I shared a patient who was anxious and afraid. Valerie stayed at his bedside, reassured him and his wife, and provided a calm, warm environment for his care. He chose to remain here to continue his care.

Valerie, you are being recognized for the care, compassion, and expertise that you share with patients, colleagues, and peers. Thank you for your commitment to professional nursing and congratulations on this recognition!
