Cindy was nominated by three of her colleagues,two of whom listed timeliness and
dependability among her many attributes. For someone who arrives as early as 4:30 AM to check in patients, that's important! As patients arrive, they are often nervous and fearful, but Cindy's sweet nature and calm demeanor put them at ease quickly.

"Patients visibly relax when she reassures them and explains things to them,"according to a fellow nurse. Cindy works hard and accomplishes a lot, but she never appears rushed or stressed. For five years, her positive outlook, inner strength and sense of humor have lifted up her department and built team spirit .
