Ashley Badders is a personal friend and colleague who always strives to do the best for her patients and put them first. She also is a faculty member at Ursuline where she shares her knowledge with aspiring nurses so that they can care for patients as she does. What most stood out to me is when she told me that Ursuline Admissions contacted her to let her know that a new nursing student had enrolled at Ursuline because of her exceptional care of her daughter while she was in the PICU. Not only does that show her outstanding nursing skills, but also her leadership and passion for her talents and her patients. I believe she is a wonderful nurse and deserving of recognition, and I know her patients and their families would feel the same.
