Kim cared for a patient who presented with soaked, worn-out shoes. The homeless patient asked if we had a means to dry her shoes, but they were too worn to be dried. Kim checked lost and found, but there were no shoes available. "This amazing, compassionate nurse took it upon herself to go to the locker room, get her personal shoes out of her locker, and proceeded to give them to the patient," her colleague wrote in the nomination. "At the end of the day, Kim walked out of Cox Monett only wearing her socks."
