Connie goes above and beyond her call of duty. I've seen her cut her lunch break short to help out the ER start a line or not take a lunch at all. She's always willing to help out, she exemplifies nursing at its finest.

...

Connie is very caring and technically proficient nurse. She juggles an ever changing schedule in PTM. She will alter her personal work schedule and come in on an off day to give a patient an infusion if she is worried they might become ill or be unable to go through the emergency department. She spends as much time as needed to educate her patients and families. She gets them completely involved in her care. She seeks out updates to provide the best care. As a specialized PICC nurse, she created and presented an educational program to the nursing homes and home health agencies in the community to ensure her patients had the best of care and had their PICC lines managed by best practice while outside the facility. She volunteers in her community and she always volunteers to help with flu vaccine administration for staff and families without being asked.
