A colleague nominated Rebecca, stating: "I have been precepting under Becca for six weeks now, and today marks my last day. I have had a lot of wonderful teachers in my career, but none hold a candle to Becca. She is patient, kind, smart, and a fantastic nurse. The way she connects with her patients and their families is a gift that very few have. She takes time to explain complicated aspects of care to make things seem less scary. She also never makes anyone feel silly for asking questions. Anyone who has the opportunity to learn from her should count themselves as incredibly lucky. I have learned so much from Becca that I will take with me for the rest of my career. She made me feel so supported and safe whenever we were doing any kind of patient care that was new to me. I never once felt alone. She gave me such confidence in my abilities that I know I will be able to take it with me down the road. In addition to her impeccable skills as a nurse and her compassion for her families, she is also a great communicator with the providers. She is clear, kind, and always works to do what is best for her patients. This woman is one of a kind. She is the nurse you want to train the next generation. If I walk out of nursing half as good as Becca Baiza, I will consider that a huge success. The lessons I have learned from her are instrumental, and I will always be grateful to her. I have no doubt that I will become a better nurse because I know her.”
