Excerpts from her nominations include:
"This nurse is a cut above the rest."
"Over the years I have worked with Georgia and she has always been a skillful and knowledgeable nurse. She gives outstanding care to her patients and is delightful to work with. She participates in unit discussions, meetings and committees. She is first to lend a helping hand to staff and patients, no matter how challenging her own assignment is."
"She is ambitious about changes in our unit and has raised standards of care to a new level."
"I observed her passing a patient bay and seeing the patient's feet were hitting the footboard due to his height. She located a longer bed for him and he was so grateful. He was not her assigned patient. Another idea she had is what she calls "Take the Time". It is about communicating with families during emotional waiting times. She a made video of her idea to share with her co-workers."
"Other contributions include organizing help for staff illnesses, loss of family members, and birthdays, plans outings and other celebrations which can be time consuming. This helps build friendships within unit which contributes to working as a team."
"She has National Certifications CPAN & CAPA, mentors staff in use of EMR, accepts charge responsibilities in a calm and organized manner, acts as a hospital resource when needed, known to visit her post op patients on the floors-an example of her devotion to her patients, picks up extra shifts, stays late to ensure safe patient care, and has a family life she deeply loves and somehow balances this with work."
