The Nancy B. Holt Legacy of Nursing Award recognizes a nurse or advanced practice nurse who best exemplifies rehabilitation nursing practice. Congratulations to Amanda June from the 25th floor Innovation Center for winning this award.

Amanda came to our Brain Injury Unit as a new graduate nurse in July 2014. She has laddered (level II), earned her certification and served as a preceptor for new staff members and for students. She most recently applied for and was chosen as a clinical nurse coordinator. She was one of the reasons that the 25th floor transitioned so seamlessly into their new environment.

Amanda's patient care is exceptional. She is creative, an excellent communicator, patient and always willing to step into a difficult situation to assist her team.

Brittany joined our organization in September 2015. She started as a full-time PCT on the night shift, but often expressed interest to work during the day shift. Brittany was patient, at times even volunteering to work a few night-to-day shift doubles,” said Crystal Frantilla, Nurse Manager. “Her eagerness for days was noted. Finally, over a year later, Brittany transitioned to day shift. Her transition to the new schedule and to the 20th floor of the new hospital were seamless. She has eagerly picked up the new pace and technology. Her coworkers are grateful for her work ethic, and we are always looking to see what hairstyle she will have next.”
