I want to nominate Chris E. for employee of the month. Chris is an amazing asset to the nursing department, constantly helping out with whatever needs arise. He has crossed train to ER, MS & SNF and is one of the few staff members willing to transport or chaperone patients to and from appointments. Chris is a great team player; he never seems bothered when he's scheduled or floated to other departments and always approaches tasks with a "patient's first" outlook. While these qualities are all deserving of an Employee of the Month nomination, it's his calm demeanor, empathy for others, and consistency that really sets him apart. Since Chris transitioned to a full-time aide he has experienced some extremely challenging patient situations; handling each one with a level of compassion and understanding that is admired by patients, families, and staff. He's a favorite amongst patients and highly respected by his coworkers.

Congratulations to
Here's what her nominators said about her:
Patient/Visitor:
We came to visit our father and brought his grandkids. They had lots of energy and the nurse brought over some crayons and coloring pages to help entertain them so we could peacefully visit our loved one. Very helpful and thoughtful! Im a firefighter and paramedic and have lots of experience with patient care and also customer service and she performed both amazingly.
Colleague:
I would like to nominate Kathryn “Katie” Cyr for Employee of the Month. She has consistently demonstrated flexibility, willingness to cover when needed, and never hesitates to give a helping hand, no matter where it is asked, including our organizational social media accounts! She has assisted with critical situations in ER, volunteered to stay over to cover shifts so her fellow staff members who live farther away are able to get home, and she also was a great assist over the holiday weeks when there was an insurmountable amount of call offs among the nursing staff. She has a great attitude and never complains about which department or shift she is asked to work; she is a very appreciated team player.
Share your story of what your nurse has meant to you, and your nurse may be selected to receive this very meaningful recognition.
