Each and every day, Darlene keeps the 8 west running smoothly. It seems that she can do three jobs at once. She puts the needs of patients and staff above hers. She is the last nurse to have her breaks and the first person to answer call lights, phone calls or catch a patient who is climbing out of bed. She is one of the most capable and competent nurses I know. When she is on the shift, I know it is going to be a great day.
