Marie demonstrates compassionate extraordinary care each and every shift she works. Patients and family members will always recognize Marie as efficient, very attentive, kind, competent, professional, compassionate, and high level skill with a good humor.

She is always the first responder for any emergency on the unit even when it’s not her patient. She is our number “one” mentor for students and new grads. Under her leadership, these students flourish!
