Artist of the Month - March 2013

Bridgett Carson was selected as Artist of the Month for March 2013.  

Bridgett primarily works as a Laboratory Assistant during the evening shift, completing her workday around 11:00 p.m. According to the time on the clock Wednesday, March 13^th, Bridgett should have been on her way home. Nonetheless, she made the decision to stay and help in the Emergency Department, warranting nominations from three of her coworkers for this award. Amy Harris, RN remembers, “We were very busy in the Emergency Department; and Bridgett volunteered to come over after her shift to help the ward clerk. She also cleaned rooms for us and even sat with an elderly patient that was in need of additional observation because of her restlessness. She went way above and beyond her duties and it was very much appreciated!” ED physician, Dr. David Leveaux, attributes Bridgett with having a ‘general positive attitude’; and Rusty Ware, MLT, says she ‘maintained a very cheery attitude even after being thrown-up on’. Bridgett worked until 2:30 a.m. on this particular Wednesday, having come to the aid of her coworkers from another department during an extremely busy time. Although there would have been nothing wrong with Bridgett going home at the end of her shift, she chose to stay and help. Her dedication and consideration exemplifies the care and concern given to the patients and employees of BCMH. 

Bridgett has been part of the BCMH family since February 2012. She and her husband, Nickolas, recently celebrated their first wedding anniversary. They have an 8-month old Australian shepherd named Lilly and a kitten called Lucy. Bridgett says her favorite sport, at which she considers herself ‘quite good’, is eating. This fall, she plans to continue her education in the laboratory technician program through Fairmont State University. BCMH truly appreciates Bridgett’s quiet enthusiasm, her thoughtfulness and her kindness toward our patients and staff.
