Employee of the Quarter
Carolyn Murphy, Certified Nursing Assistant, was recognized as the Employee of the Quarter for the 3rd quarter of 2008.
Carolyn was welcomed to Braxton County Memorial Hospital in August 2007. During a relatively short period of time, she has made a significant impression on her co-workers at Med Surg. Staff from other areas of the hospital including Cardio-Pulmonary, Emergency and Maintenance have recognized Carolyn’s attributes as well. She is described as being ‘a nice person, courteous, kind and gentle with her patients, a very loving and caring person, reliable and helpful, always willing to give a hand, hardworking, quiet, professional, soft-hearted, friendly, dedicated, gives 100%, compassionate, outstanding, wonderful, a No. 1 - A-team kind of person, ....’ Furthermore, ‘she always has a smile on her face when you know she doesn’t feel well.’
Carolyn has been enduring some personal health issues over the past few months. Nevertheless, she has been faithful to work, even reporting for extra shifts when necessary, to ensure that her patients received the care they needed and her co-workers had the support they deserved. LuAnn McClure, CNA, on Med Surg states, “Carolyn has gone above and beyond helping with patients and staff. She gives freely - not expecting anything in return. Her patients come first, the way it should be! Thank you for hiring this co-worker and friend.”
Julia Rose, RN, Med Surg Nurse Manager comments, “Carolyn considers taking care of her patients a very serious job. Even when feeling bad herself, she takes care of her patients in a friendly and caring manner.”
Although Carolyn describes herself as a ‘flower on the wall’, it is quite obvious that her co-workers and friends consider her much more than that. Mary Fields, CNA, states, “She is a great asset to the hospital. We need more Carolyns.” Thank you, Carolyn, from all of us at Braxton County Memorial Hospital!
