Jaime Zicafoose, MSN,RN,MEDSURG-BC

Jaime has played a vital role in helping the CNA/PCT Council at the Cecil County Campus. She is not only an educator at this campus, but she is also a friend, someone you can trust and depend on. She is a wealth of knowledge and is always willing to share what she knows.

The council went to Jaime and asked on behalf of all the CNA/PCT's at this campus for some yearly hands-on education and refreshing skills. Jaime has led the CNA/PCT council to develop a CNA/PCT Skills Day. We cover many different skills.

She teaches restraints, accu-check education, ECG, cardiac monitors, and more. She helps set up both days and nights for this education to happen. She has supported the CNA/PCT's in identifying what skills they wanted, helped us get the materials we needed, and helped us set it up.

She believes in us; she believes in empowering us, and she believes in making a difference.

When she isn't teaching education to others, she is a vital part of being a facilitator to the CNA/PCT council in Cecil. We developed the CNA/PCT and Partners in Practice Excellence Awards this year, and Jaime was very instrumental in the development of this award.

She did a lot of behind-the-scenes work. Such as organizing how nominations would come in and cross-checking to ensure it was a fair process in choosing the winners. She personally designed the award certificate and handled the event decorations.

Jaime is our "go-to" person, and no matter what, she finds the time to be there for you. She comes to work each and every day and displays each and every core value of Christiana Care. She is someone we look up to, someone who ALWAYS makes your day better.

There is so much more that I could write about how valuable Jaime is to this organization, but there isn't enough room. She is more than deserving of this DAISY Nurse Educator Award.
