When I think of someone who embodies fairness, helpfulness, and a willingness to go the extra mile, Kim is the first person who comes to mind.
Kim has been an incredible mentor to me, teaching me not only how to take on the role of charge nurse but also the responsibilities of an Assistant Nurse Manager. From the very beginning, she instilled in me the lesson that nothing in nursing is easy, and that hard work is essential to making things happen.

She dedicated her time to thoroughly explaining every detail, ensuring I understood the complexities of our work. What truly stands out about Kim is her deep desire and capacity to help others. She once shared with me that nursing is her true passion and that she wishes to continue working as a nurse for as long as she lives. This is her second career, and you can feel how much she loves it. Her enthusiasm and commitment are contagious.

When I think of someone who embodies fairness, helpfulness, and a willingness to go the extra mile, Kim is the first person who comes to mind. She never hesitates to step in and assist on another unit when help is needed. Her selflessness and dedication to both her colleagues and patients make her the perfect example of what it means to be a true leader and caregiver.
