Kim goes above and beyond. She came in during a snow storm on short notice to cover another department so out of town staff could go home safely. She has been noted by her peers as an excellent teacher for NRP, prenatal classes, and preceptoring new employees and students. And she is a great GRMC advocate out in the community. Each year she helps distribute bike helmets to area third graders. She was instrumental in implementing the transcutaneous bilirubin meter so GRMC follows AAP guidelines regarding infant surveillance for jaundice.

Kim is the nurse that truly meets the worthiness of receiving the DAISY Award.
