Sujin Kwon, RN
Sujin Kwon, RN, Mount Sinai Queens, recently received a STAR recognition from a colleague for her help during a challenging time caring for patients with COVID-19. Her colleague said, “I had the pleasure and honor of working with Ms. Kwon on two occasions, and she showed exemplary nursing leadership behavior both times. She lifts you up when you are down; I will be forever grateful.”
According to her supervisor, KyeongHwa “Kimmy” Kim, RN, going above and beyond for her team is typical of Sujin, who has worked on 2 East, a Medical Surgical Unit at Mount Sinai Queens, since 2001. “Whenever we need anything,” says Kimmy, “Sujin comes to help out; she is so dedicated, so committed to her colleagues and her patients. And she does it all, so quietly and so humbly.”
Sujin loves nursing, specifically, bedside nursing. “I love what I do, and although upgrading our skills is important—I am a certified infusion nurse—I never want to be far from patient care. It is so rewarding and makes me feel fulfilled.”
