Stacey Fitzpatrick, RN, 12ABC and Kathleen McCarthy, BSN, RN, 5B were featured in the Boston Globe “Salute to Nurses” on May 7. The piece, which appeared in the BostonWorks section, highlighted outstanding nurses through the publication of nomination letters submitted by patients.
“This patient was really special,” said McCarthy, speaking of the patient whose wife contributed the letter after he passed away. “He was an incredible person who had amazingly good attitude. I feel so honored that his family would think of me. He touched my heart and will always be a part of me.”
“I think a patient taking the time to do this is the greatest recognition of
all,” added Fitzpatrick. “This is one patient’s comment that can easily apply to
every hardworking nurse here at BWH.”
