RMGNA Art of Nursing award winners (2023)

Momoka Yoshida

  

Momoka was nominated for her commitment to professional excellence, constantly updating her evidence-based practice by attending workshops and seminars and engaging in self-directed learning. 

She approaches her nursing care with enthusiasm and optimism and is determined to improve the care provided to, and outcomes for, her patients. This commitment to patient-centred care was evident in Momoka’s personal goal of improving communication between the patients in her care and their multidisciplinary team; not only through thorough patient education but also by ensuring her patients needs were heard and met in a kind, compassionate and effective manner. 

Joel Fitgerald

Joel was nominated for his positive, compassionate attitude that allows him to create strong connections with his patients, their family members, peers and the multidisciplinary team.  He personifies kindness and helpfulness,  making time to actively listen to others and collaboratively find solutions to their issues or concerns.  His growth mindset meant that what others saw as  challenges, he saw as opportunities to learn, grow and help others and always ensured his patients received the best of care in a positive, healing environment.
