It is National Nurses Week!
Our nursing and patient care teams are a big part of the backbone of MSBI and their presence, kindness, professionalism, excellence, and generosity keep our patients safe and at ease.
We have over 600 nurses in our MSBI network who work in various settings including inpatient, ambulatory, case management, administration, education, and others. They continuously strive for excellence by advancing their education, collaborating with each other, asking questions, and speaking up at the right times. I am so thankful for all they do and happy we were able to celebrate them in so many ways this week.
We celebrated many of our nurses for their dedication to high quality care and patient experience at the Beatrice Renfield Circle of Excellence Awards. We also had amazing nominees for the 1199 Nurse of Distinction Awards last Friday:
Our nurses also bring joy and creativity to MSBI. The Zumba flash mob party on Monday sounds like it was unlike any hospital celebration I have ever seen! I also heard there are some unbelievable talents signed up for the Union Square talent show later today. They truly are an impressive bunch.
Thank you for all you do today and always.
