Amber embodies the ideal of nursing and demonstrated her willingness to care for people in need in our community. She was actually on her way home and was one of the first people at the scene of an accident. She immediately responded and began assessing the injured person who was riding a motorcycle and collided with a car. The rider had multiple injuries and rapidly deteriorated requiring CPR. She started CPR and remained on scene to speak with the First Responders. The rider was transported via Life Flight to a trauma center and although critically injured, Amber's rapid assessment and interventions gave her a greater chance at survival.
