Ludy has been on the Professional Nursing Staff Recognition Committee for several years and has been an invaluable member of the committee. In 2012, she received five DAISY nominations from patients making her the most nominated PNS member. Here are some excerpts from her nominations:

"You can truly tell she loves her job and she gives 100% of herself to her job every day!"

"She cares about my well-being."

"She is very caring, giving, helpful and kind. She is a saint in my book."

"She is one of the most kind and efficient nurses around."

Ludy has impressed us with her flexibility, willingness to contribute in any manner, and her sense of humor keeps us grounded during high-stress times. Thanks for your openness and willingness to do anything asked of you, no matter how large or small.
