Veronica “Ronnie” Adams was nominated by a team member from another department:
I have had the privilege to witness Ronnie’s compassionate care over the past few weeks, and I am truly touched. 4N had a patient who is quite confused, however, Ronnie takes it upon herself to ensure this patient’s dignity and care is maintained at a level that is bar none. I have heard Ronnie singing hymns with the patient, nurturing her with complete compassion and sincerity. Ronnie is always putting the personal touch in her care. In the world of productivity and expanded nurse to patient ratios, it is refreshing and encouraging to witness nursing care at its best: personal and with dignity.
