August 2022 | Sandy Johnson
A nurse practitioner in the department of surgery, Sandy Johnson was
nominated by a lead clinical nurse from the Comprehensive Transplant
Unit for her extraordinary efforts to support a patient (and family) in need
of palliative care, while serving as the unit’s shift coordinator over a long
weekend. After detailing Johnson’s many caring and thoughtful actions, the
nomination letter goes on to say, “This family had so much peace, comfort, 43 43
and support because of you [and] the nursing staff caring for this patient felt
so incredibly supported.”
July 2022 | Nichole Rosado
Nichole Rosado, a nurse on Zayed 8E, the labor and delivery unit, was
nominated by the husband of a patient who wrote about the enthusiasm,
warmth, and bedside manner Rosado displayed while caring for his wife.
Rosado was also mentoring a nursing student during this time, and the
nominator wrote about how the student excelled under the patient and
thoughtful guidance, further enhancing the incredible care received. “As
physicians, my wife and I understand how difficult it can be to navigate our
fast-paced health care system, how easy it is to forget the human side of
medicine. Nichole reminded us of the power of connection, the importance
of empathy, and the value of patient-centered care.” ◼ MAGAZINE.NURSING.JHU.EDU
