There’s never been a more challenging time to be a nurse. We applaud the contributions of each and every nurse.
Thank you for everything you do!
This nurse has literally given someone the coat off her back. For Michelle, nursing means being a champion for others. She’s committed to providing education and resources to those who need it most.
Cookie’s passionate about breaking barriers and lifting up those around her. She’s an advocate for the Hispanic community through volunteerism and professional development. After 12 years in the ICU, Cookie is helping her patients manage their health long-term as a home care nurse.
A 27-year Army veteran. A cancer survivor. A nurse. Steve displays the same steadfastness in each of his roles. Despite the cancer, Steve never shied away from the frontlines of COVID-19 and dedicates himself to multiple ICU units.
