Awards
As an Emergency Room RN I received the "Patient Experience Award." When I transferred to the Float Pool within the same Hospital, I was once again awarded the "Patient Experience Award," this time within the many different floors I worked. Neither of these awards are easy to obtain in the areas where they were awarded to me. I believe they were awarded to me,by my patients and their families, because I believe in showing up every day and treating every person I am in contact with with empathy and compassion, regardless of background or socioeconomic status.
