Nichole is a professional whose journey has positively impacted the lives of many who pass through a CentraCare building. She is committed to quality care, and her kindness, empathy, and genuine joyfulness spread quickly. She has the ability to connect to patients and staff on a human level that fosters trust and becomes a beacon of hope in times of distress. She has always been an advocate for interdisciplinary collaboration, and her pursuit of pooling others' expertise to deliver patient-centered care is impeccable. Nichole has been a listening ear for many people, and her guidance is rooted in servitude and makes a positive impact on all who surround her. As I just passed Nichole in the hall, I could see she was training a new nurse. She was introducing the nervous nurse to all the friends she has made here with many smiles to go around! Nichole's nurse leadership is not measured by accolades or accomplishments, but by the hearts healed along the way.
