Brenda Gordon, LPN, Intensive Care Unit
Brenda often comes in to work extra. She was recently phoned at home while on vacation to see if she would come in to work. She did. She is a valued and dedicated employee. She very seldom says no when asked to work an extra shift or to stay over. This decreases stress on her co-workers. She is very considerate of others and works very hard. She is a valued employee. She looks for and keeps up with ICU equipment. She persistently looks for lost charges. Brenda is a very hard and a very dedicated worker. If put in a bind, one RN can work with Brenda and know that the work will get done.
Ashley Taylor, Registered Physical Therapist
Ashley consistently provides a high level of care to patients often going “the extra mile”. She enhances the reputation of Wayne General Hospital and sets a good example for others. She provides training services to Wayne County High School on a volunteer basis and provides good public relations for WGH. She is now pursuing her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree which will allow for a higher level of expertise.
Debra Williams, RN, Emergency Room
Debra displays a willingness to work in any department at any time from OB to Med/Surg to ER to surgery. She is a shining example of the flexibility that makes her an asset to WGH. On several occasions she has voluntarily went to ER and worked as long as she was needed there. A lot of times you can find her helping out and floating in other areas where she is needed without even being asked. She simply learned there was a need and she met that need. Debra has often stated, “I don’t mind helping out, I’d rather be doing something than just sitting around”. She is truly a hard worker and she gives her all in whatever she does. She is an extraordinary nurse with experience to handle herself in almost any setting. She can multi-task and is the quality of excellence that makes Wayne General shine.
