Brad’s nomination came from a patient’s wife who shared a very touching story of how much Brad meant to her “during the darkest night of her entire life.” The nomination summarized how Brad demonstrated both clinical excellence and compassionate caring that night. The wife shared that Brad kept her well informed about what was happening yet left room open for any questions she might have and offered heartfelt condolences and support to her. In summary, she concluded, “Brad is not just an excellent nurse, but also an excellent human being, capable of placing himself in the emotional space of his patients and their loved ones.” Thank you, Brad, for being “a bright light” to this family in such a devastating situation.
