Having a patient ask for you by name is a strong testament to any nurse's rapport with them, but it speaks volumes when you’re the nurse that “pokes” them. Yet, Anne does just that whenever she starts an IV, and the patients and their families still adore her. Her gentle nature and pleasant demeanor resonates incredibly well with everyone she encounters—she makes everyone feel special. Fellow nurses value her knowledge and regard her as a great resource. Awesome, fantastic, helpful and kind are just some of the ways her peers describe her. The amazing chocolate chip cookies she bakes and shares with them are just an added bonus.
