Ada is such a sweet and wonderful nurse! She is so dedicated and makes sure her patients are well taken care of. She always put her patients first before her own well-being. Ada is a great colleague to work with, always willing to help and very kind.

...

Ada is tireless, she is very dedicated to her work. She is always volunteering to help other staff. Her patients sing praises about her. Even when she is busy, she is very cheerful and does not complain.

...

I'd like to nominate Ada for her extraordinary compassion and care she has exhibited while caring after a quadriplegic patient on the floor. The patient and his family also expressed his gratitude to Ada and to me. Ada truly deserves the nomination for her dedication to nursing profession and diligence in performing her duties.

...

Ada represents everything a rehab nurse/staff member should be. She advocates, empowers, and encourages all of her patients. She spends time with her patients teaching them how to advocate for them, provides a thorough education on self-care in preparation for a successful discharge home, and has excellent nursing skills in the areas of spinal cord injury and brain injury. Even if a patient has her for only one day, she treats them like she is their primary nurse. She goes above and beyond to ensure that patients are prepared for the often difficult and complex transition home. As a therapist, she is the ideal nurse who advocates and values the entire rehab experience.
