Tolbert family #1: “Grant has been a wonderful nurse to the family. He was patient as well as helpful at this time of sorrow. We, the Tolbert family, would like to thank him and St. Vincent’s Hospital.”
Tolbert family #2: “Grant was my brother’s nurse for 3 days and he showed us the utmost respect and really showed compassion to us and my brother, Reuben Tolbert. I really give him the 5 STAR award.”
Tolbert family #3: “Grant really kept us informed about our loved one, Reuben Tolbert, and was straight with us.”
Carrie Butler RN: “Grant is always helpful, no matter what is going on. He is always there to help. If Grant is working, I know I can always depend on him.”
Michelle Stark: “Grant is very nice to everybody and never complains about stopping to just help out someone else. He’s a real pleasure to work with.”
Greg Wright: Grant is continuously dedicated to compassionate, knowledgeable nursing care in the critical setting. Since Day 1 he has been an inspiration to watch and learn from. Grant is always the “go to” person on the unit and will drop anything at any time to help a co-worker. His compassion with family and patients is seemingly effortless, which is incredibly rare. You can certainly tell it is just who he is. There is no better candidate for this award that continues to amaze and excel in showing stellar team spirit and uncompromised holistic care. I can only strive to be the type of nurse that he is every day.”
Susan Barnes: “Grant is always helpful and has a wonderful attitude. He is friendly and caring towards his patients and their families. He is a “go-to” person on our unit because of his excellent clinical skills.”
Mackenzie Wood: “Grant is always very helpful and he always has a smile on his face. He is always willing to do anything for you when you ask and even when you don’t ask. Also the patients and their families love him! He is super smart!”
