Art of Nursing Graduate Nurse Winner

Rem makes an exceptional contribution to patient care and outcomes through her kindness, professionalism, and strong commitment to safe, high‑quality nursing practice. She consistently works collaboratively with others on the ward, communicates clearly and respectfully, and asks appropriate questions to ensure patient safety at all times.

An example of Rem’s commitment to caring and advocacy occurred when one of her patients became upset about discriminatory remarks by another patient in the room. Rem immediately reported the incident, helped move the patient to another room and spent time with the patient, reassuring them and ensuring their ongoing wellbeing. A very worthy winner.
