Admirable Woman, Nurse, and Mother

by

Nurse Alyssa, Home Healthcare Chicago
Nominated by Tina Parsons

My daughter is a home health nurse in Chicago and inspires me with her dedication to her patients in this stressful and challenging time of COVID-19. She has at times not had the PPE she has needed and has even worn trash bags in an effort to keep her patients, who are compromised, from any possible exposure to COVID. She deals with the extra pressures pretty much by herself as home health workers don’t have coworkers nearby to confide in. Like so many others she also tries to balance the needs of sick patients with the need to keep her own family safe. She is amazing and I love and admire the woman, nurse, mother, and person she has become.

Fighting for Her Patients Day and Night

by

Nurse Rochelle, Gardena Memorial
Nominated by Kreli Washington

My girlfriend Rochelle works at Gardena Memorial on the surgical floor as a registered nurse. Her floor was changed to a Covid-19 floor to help with the ICU. It’s been a challenge but she enjoys what she does and fights for her patients day and night. Without complaints just the look of being tired and stressed she always comes home to me with a smile and stories for days. She definitely deserves this.

Source of Joy and Courage

by

Nurse Hazel, Stanford Hospital
Nominated by Eileen Cordero

I met Hazel in Nursing school. We found out we both came from the same town growing up and also had a baby less than a year old when we started school. We instantly clicked because we spoke the same dialect. We got really close during school, we would even carpool to clinicals, became study buddies during NCLEX, celebrated passing it, and even worked together with several clients with Nurse Registry. We bonded and became friends for life. Our friendship was strengthened when both our families were struck with CKD, her daughter, and me.
But that didn’t dampen our spirit. Hazel is a source of strength and an inspiration of hard work. Her energy is contagious but above all, she is very dedicated and passionate about work. Despite the trials we go through you will never see her get discouraged but instead, she is a source of joy and courage to a lot of people. I tell her she is my sister from another mother.

Putting Herself on the Line for Her Patients

by

Nurse Emily, Stanford Health Care
Nominated by Neda Sefidpour

Emily has been a good friend of mine for many years. She inspires me because of the care and dedication she puts into her work. She is a nurse and works the night shift at the hospital. This means long hours and sleepless nights. She sleeps during the day and has to miss out on a lot of time with her family, including missing important life events. She is also 6 months pregnant and working during this COVID-19 pandemic. Every day she steps into that hospital she puts her life and her unborn daughter’s life on the line for her patients. Her bravery is inspirational to me.

Always Arrives With a Smile

by

Nurse Oralia, Texas Children’s Hospital
Nominated by Bryan Andaya

I would like to nominate Oralia G. a Nurse and Healthcare Hero at Texas Children’s Hospital. She is currently working through this pandemic and has worked during the devastation of Hurricane Harvey in the past as well. She always arrives with a smile on her face and provides the best care to all her pediatric patients.

Leading the COVID 19 Response

by

Nurse Fariba, Silicon Valley Medical Development, California
Nominated by Neda Sefidpour

Fariba is my mother. She has been a nurse and working in the medical field for about 30 years. She inspires me because she always puts the needs of others in front of her own. Lately, she has been leading the COVID 19 response at Silicon Vally Medical Development. This has meant working long and stressful hours for months now. She never complains and is always there for her coworkers and family. She is a very inspirational person and I look up to her.
