Anna came to us in the ICU as a new grad in the middle of COVID. She had zero clinical experience in the hospital setting as students were not allowed in the hospitals. She willingly took a job in an ICU knowing what we were facing. She had to learn and she had to learn fast. She mastered the skills that she needed and she did this with a smile. She is eager to help other nurses and is adored by her patients and their families. She has grown tremendously in her confidence and the way she interacts with doctors and with other staff. She is proactive when dealing with sick patients and their needs. She is dependable and respects others in a quiet manner. Anna is a breath of fresh air to a unit that desperately needed help in such a busy time. Not only did she willingly come to an area of the hospital that was so busy in such a bad time, but she has stayed and has bloomed into an amazing nurse that I'm proud to work beside any day!
