Tamie Fairbanks is an amazing nurse, clinical instructor, mentor, mother, friend, and person. She is extremely intelligent and able to impart her vast clinical knowledge to her colleagues, students, and patients for their betterment. But more than that, Tamie is able to use her experience to make a lasting positive impact on each person she makes contact with. The previous statement does not mean that Tamie will tell you what you "want" to hear in discourse, but rather what her nursing judgment dictates. I absolutely feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn from her and I would jump at the chance in the future. Tamie Fairbanks exemplifies extraordinary nursing!
