Brenda goes above and beyond her duty - encompassing the true qualities of empathy, compassion, and love. Brenda is often seen staying late and ensuring continuity of care for her patients. She not only takes ownership of her patients but she also has the utmost pride in her team and community. Without hesitation, Brenda is by far one of our favorite and most skilled nurses, and it is a pleasure to nominate her.

We miss you! Little Girl says thank you for taking such good care of her. You were the most gentle, empathetic nurse we've had since starting this nightmare last Friday and were thankful we got to meet you. You could have just done your job fast and left us, but you made us feel like you actually cared about our baby. We won't ever forget that. You couldn't have known that we were beating ourselves up for not coming to the hospital sooner, but you told us we were good parents. You didn't have to say anything encouraging, you didn't have to be kind, but you were! You are an AMAZING nurse! Empathy is a rare gift. You're irreplaceable, Nurse Brenda.
