Toni exemplifies the PETALS principals of Passion, Empathy, Trust and Teamwork, Admirable attributes, Love for the patient and the nursing profession, and Selflessness. She is a hardworking nurse who chooses to put her talents, knowledge and skills to great use on a daily basis. She takes her job seriously and makes sure that she is compliant in all that she does. She is dedicated to her job and to her patients. She knows exactly how to speak to the patient and their family members regarding medical topics in a way that the patient and family members can understand. She has also been known to speak to them as if they are her very own family members. She is patient, kind, knowledgeable, compassionate. A coworker quoted that she just has “something” about her that draws patients to her, like they can immediately tell that they can trust her, confide in her, and that everything will be okay. She takes each task as it comes, with positivity and determination. These are only a few of the attributes that she possesses that makes her such an “amazing” person and NURSE.
