PerfectServe’s Nurses of Note awards program honors nurses who deserve recognition for their remarkable resilience and unwavering dedication. In the second year of the Nurses of Note program, PerfectServe wants to shine a light on the integrity, perseverance, and compassion that nurses so regularly display in the course of caring for patients.
The incredible stories of these honorees paint a clear picture of the people who make up this noble profession, and their experiences offer just a glimpse into the many ways they make the world a better place. Of the 200-plus nominations PerfectServe received, we selected a group of providers to spotlight during the month of May—which, of course, is home to National Nurses Week—and throughout the rest of 2022.
October is home to many holidays that recognize and hold awareness for mental health, including National Depression Screening Day and World Mental Health Day. These days encourage people to seek mental health support whenever needed and motivate patients to be screened for mental health issues. We all know the importance of mental health, and in this profile, we’re highlighting a nurse who works in a psychiatry unit. To learn more about these holidays, or to seek support yourself, visit the World Federation for Mental Health’s website.
