A family member of our patient had served on The Nursing Board at a community college for 15 years as Executive Director of Admissions and Registrar. He says he's "observed many preceptors and instructors, but over the last 2 days I've been privileged to observe the best one I've ever seen, Alma Pinzon. I did not see one short cut; she followed all protocols and explained the rationale to her student. Alma always remained calm, and anticipated every needed action while caring for my mother. She is an asset to this hospital; her delivery of care exceeds professional expectations."

"My husband was helicoptered in from a local town and had a triple bypass surgery. As soon as Alma walked in the room I knew we were in good hands. She has a very comforting aura and her personality is high energy, but very warm."

"Alma's compassion for nursing is the foundation on which all her other attributes shine bright. She has worked very hard, touched many lives and groomed many to follow in her footsteps."
