Hello Professor and Class!
As the saying goes “Not all superheroes wears capes”. I love what I do and yes there are several
great nurses that I have admired in my 13years in nursing career and I believe there are many
more that I will meet along the way. The nurse that I admire the most is my ex co-worker Lisa,
who has been a nurse for over 20years, she is 53 years old, has been superstar of the year 4times
since have known her, she is superstar of the month at least once a year, has been nominated by
the patients for the daisy award severally and has the heart of gold when it comes to patient care.
Lisa is a great team player who is there to help and guide other nurses on the right way of doing
things efficiently and correctly. She shows compassion for her patients and make every patient
feel loved and welcome. Very thorough in everything she do and also has great communication
skills. She created a report form that was use in the entire organization. Normally, it is difficult to
give detail report on all 20 of your pt in the LTC facility, but she devised way of nurses given
detail report on every patient in a very simple but detailed way. She is a very good educator, she
loves to educate patients as well as her colleagues. I consider her a great nurse and I always
encourage her join a nursing organization where she can present some of her good work ethics
for others to copy from. As Judd said, “To my hard-working, career-minded colleagues who
focus much on the well-being of others, please remember when the final curtain falls, it is not the
credentials or what we’ve accomplished professionally that will linger most in the hearts of our
families and closest friends, it is what we have been to them personally” (Judd pg. 6).
