Community nurses stood out this past Friday at the Nurses Rock event, presented by Indy’s soft rock station B105.7. This first ever event was designed to celebrate the nurses of Indiana for tirelessly giving of themselves every day on the front lines of health care. Out of five categories, Community nurses won four of them.
- Team Player – Lori Kutruff from Community East Cardiac Cath Lab received this award for her selfless support of all departments of the hospital and going above and beyond the call of duty.
- Mentor – Darla Kille from Community North Family Rooms was awarded this for her everlasting willingness to help/train others while maintaining the respect of her peers and management.
- Best Bedside Manner – Rosemary Huff from Community Home Health Services was acknowledged for her ability to make patients and their family members feel at ease and comfortable with their stay.
- Funny Bone Award – Nancy Peters from Community South ER was honored for the all around optimistic personality she shares with staff, as well as patients, and her positive attitude toward working together as a team.
“This is, yet again, another reminder that our nurses are the best at what they do,” says Chief Nursing Officer Jan Bingle. “We are happy to celebrate their successes and recognize them for the contributions they make throughout the network every day,” adds Bingle. “Community nurses have set the bar for administering exceptional patient care, and it does not go unnoticed.”
Each of the winners received a plaque and a $5000 scholarship from The College Network to pursue their bachelor’s or master’s degrees in nursing.
