Susan has loyally and passionately served as an RN in various capacities at Bryan Health for almost 40 years and currently works in the Performance Excellence department. Her nominator shared she had numerous occasions to witness Susan living out our core values unfailingly. Susan showcased 'Know the Way, Show the Way' during this nominator's onboarding to their department. "Her commitment to my development has greatly impacted my success in the work with managers on the journey to excellence."
I have seen her exceptional ability to draw upon her RN clinical expertise while leveraging her process knowledge to deliver sustainable improvement results in aspects like employee safety, hourly rounding, and patient harm events. She provides personalized coaching to the nurse leaders, meeting them where they are at, and walking this journey hip to hip with them, always 'motivating and appreciating.' She is our department specialist in efforts to implement clean and organized workplaces with the goal to improve workflow so that staff can spend more time at the bedside caring for their patients.
When an obstacle crosses her path, Susan is formidable on pressing forward thoughtfully until it has been resolved. She consistently performs her role with diligence, compassion, and excellence with every interaction promoting 'One Team, One Purpose'. Susan has been an inspiration to so many!
