Vicki is one in a million. She is who I would want to be there if I or any of my family members needed to be hospitalized. Without a doubt you know you will receive excellent care – no matter what. Vicki is exceptional in her nursing knowledge. This is demonstrated by the number of nursing areas she’s experienced in. She never fails to step in to help co-workers when necessary.

A comment my mom made when she was a patient at Skiff Medical Center about Vicki: “She makes you feel comfortable when she talks to you and I believe she hears what I’m saying”.

Vicki isn’t one to say a lot, but I will never forget an incident with a young drowning victim and how she demonstrated her excellent nursing skills. She happened to be on vacation and in the vicinity of the drowning at the time. I truly believe God put her there for a reason. Sometimes the outcome isn’t what you want, but the care shown at the time and the compassion shown to the family is exactly what is needed. I can personally assure you this family will never forget Vicki. She will have a very special place in their hearts forever.

Vicki Gunsaulus is truly and extraordinary nurse, a caring individual, and well deserving of this outstanding award!
