Too good not to share❤️

This morning I sat alone, heavy hearted and so very sad and then… the pictures of my people started coming in. Pictures of nurses and other healthcare team members doing whatever it took to show up for their patients. Everyday they do it. They put others first to do what quite frankly comes naturally… caring.

Make no mistake, nurses are human and feel everything. Despite often feeling discouraged and devalued - they still show up to give. To give care and compassion and the last ounce of themselves.

I have had countless moments of being proud to be a nurse in my 32 years as a RN, but this morning it hits deeper and different and the sense of pride never stronger for so many reasons. UAMS nurses have my heart but the nursing community at large is unstoppable and we are a community that is bonded in ways many cannot understand. I will forever and always hold my membership in that community close to my heart as a cherished and honored place and am beyond grateful for the hope these nurses gave me this morning. I needed it.

- I had to call my dad!
- shoveled my way here
- giggling after the UAMS police had to help them
- said “of course” when thanked

Our December Daisy 🌼 and BEE 🐝 winners were recognized this week and in true UAMS fashion, demonstrate the exceptional care of our teams!

Shirley Elmendorf RN, is one of our NICU nurses who goes over and beyond in the the care she provides our tiniest patients but also the support and compassion she shows their families. She was nominated by both grandparents of one of her patients (a nurse and MD) who said, “We thank God for sending us an angel in Shirley”.

Billy Trent is a PSA and Mobility Tech for H8 and three colleagues took time to nominate him. All three cited the compassionate care he gives as helping patients regain independence and the huge impact he has on getting them ready to return home.

We are so lucky to have Shirley and Billy and it was my honor to be part of recognizing their outstanding work!
