Throughout her time at BWH, Internal Medicine Resident Zuzana Tothova, MD, PhD, has learned from many people as she rotates from unit to unit across the hospital. Last week, she got to personally thank one person who has taught her a great deal about making a difference for patients: Oncology Nurse Myra Muir, RN.
“Myra is one of the most amazing nurses that I have worked with,” Tothova told the audience who packed Carrie Hall during the June 1 ceremony. “I remember multiple occasions where her wise, calm and thoughtful demeanor, and her care and kindness, really made a difference in patients’ care. I always knew my patients were in the most excellent hands when she was taking care of them.”
Muir was one of 17 BWH and Faulkner staff honored for their contributions in teaching BWH residents about patient care. This year, residents also paid tribute to social workers in addition to nurses.
“Social workers always advocate for the patient and support them and their families,” said Resident Rodrigo Zepeda, MD, who nominated Molly McHugh, LICSW, for the award. “They bring a sense of ease to any situation and have a way of making family meetings go smoothly.”
In total, residents nominated and acknowledged nearly 80 nurses and Patient Care Services staff during the ceremony. “Thank you for being there to guide us and teach us,” said Lydia Pace, MD, MPH, Internal Medicine senior resident. “You consistently provide valuable input that immensely improved our team’s management of our patients. You make a huge difference for both the patients and for our team of residents.”
