ViewsSpecial Nursing Honors For National Nurses Week
By Ava Sammarco
National Nurses Week occurs in May every year to coincide with Florence Nightingale’s birthday (May 12th) and done to honor the over 3 million working nurses in the U.S. As the first and last person a patient sees during a hospital visit, a nurse is paramount to patient care.
Nurses and other medical professionals have been on the frontlines of the pandemic and have sacrificed so much for their communities. Today’s Nurse asked its members to honor a fellow nurse they admire, and the response was immense.
Here are some stories and mentions of those nurses:
1. We definitely have the best staff in the world at Brian Kirkwood, DDS. They are incredible people and great teammates. Some have been here for 32 years and the average is about 14 years. Recently, we had a celebration and awarded every team member with a trophy. It was overdue and well-deserved.
2. Nurse Melanie Kingsley acknowledges the hard work of her coworker, Brooke. Brooke is the most amazing nurse! She is very caring, puts our patients’ needs first, and is a true advocate for them. Time and time again, our patients find a special connection with her as she is not only welcoming and understanding, but also honest. She always has an ear to lend and a talent for never making her patients feel rushed or underappreciated. Brooke always gives 100% and has a passion for her work. She often brings laughter to the group while keeping everyone level-headed and on task. Brooke is a wonderful person and colleague. I feel very blessed to work with such a talented person, so very grateful!
3. Lisa Zandifar, RN, has been a registered nurse for the past 15 years. Not only is she an amazing nurse, but she is also a phenomenal mother and wife to Hootan Zandifar. Lisa Zandifar is truly a hero for her patients and us. Her dedication to her profession is unparalleled to others.
4. Penny Bowman and Leslie Arthur are beloved by patients and staff alike. They’re the most thoughtful, hardworking, dedicated, and indispensable nurses, and we’re so grateful to have them on our care team at Dr. J. J. Wendel Plastic Surgery!
5. Claire Cottingham will be graduating from Creighton University’s Nursing Program. She will be joining her grandmother and two of her great-grandmothers in this wonderful profession. She has taken her first position working in the ER in Austin, TX. She inspires so many for having chosen such a noble calling.
Nurses’ week is an annual celebration of nurses across the world for the incredible work they do. This week allows people the opportunity to acknowledge the nurses in their lives.
We received so many responses that we didn’t want to miss the opportunity to honor them all. Click the link below to view all of our nursing submissions!

Special Nursing Honors For National Nurses Week

National Nurses Week begins on May 6th and ends on May 12th, honoring the over 3 million working nurses in the U.S.
If this is REAL and totally above board, I am honored. I have been working, seeing patients in their homes and anywhere I could for the last 24 months due to the collaborative MD being sited by the NC Med Board (complaint started by me for abandoning patients and NEVER responding to them and giving inappropriate medical information to them via visit IF HE HAPPENED TO BE THERE. ADDITIONALLY, HE WAS A XDEA FOR SUBOXONE CLINIC AND DID NOT SHOW FOR THESE VISITS, HAVING ME TO SEE THEM AND USE HIS XDEA). I can give further information to you via telephone. He did not pay me for 12 months and left patients (very sick cardiac patients) with NO provider. I took them. Additionally, I make home visits to my Hospice and O2 patients. I am a preceptor for NP students from various schools (the last semester was Univ of South Carolina, it will be this semester as well). This is gratis. My hours are to fit very ill CV and COPD/IPF pts 10 AM -1900 since they are not able to get up early for appts. Additionally, it helps the working patients be able to get here after normal working hours.
THE BLACK MIRROR IS POWERFUL. Who could believe that I would be rich someday? but Baba Powers made it possible with the black mirror which I purchased from him. Thanks to him because the black mirror reveals the secrets, unlock the power. I came across various testimonials which state how the black mirror has been of good and great help to them. I also contacted Baba Powers on his email; Babablackmirrors@gmail.com to also experience it for myself. I am really happy to get the black mirror. Thank you Baba Powers for your special black mirror. You can also view his website and you will see amazing testimonies from people that he has helped. His website is; Babablackmirrorsofpowers.blogspot.com I urge you now to contact him and you will never regret it.
Invisible illnesses are real and exhausting and some people don’t seem to understand. The word phrase” You don’t look sick” hit harder. It sounds incredibly tough and exhausting, both physically and mentally. Dealing with a severe flare up, the endless waiting for proper diagnosis and treatment, and the toll it takes on our headspace… that’s a heavy load, and it’s completely valid to feel like you’re running on empty. These conditions — whether autoimmune diseases, chronic pain, fatigue syndromes, attack silently. They don’t always show up as visible scars, wheelchairs, or obvious signs, which makes the dismissal (“You look fine,” “Just push through,” or “A nap won’t fix that”) even more painful and isolating.
When my immediate younger sister was diagnosed with MS, she did everything she was told, including weekly Avonex injections -and she continued to get sicker.
Her life changed almost by accident when she was pushed into natural healing through Deborah Herbal Healing Home. It took her 1 year and 8 months but as she changed how she ate, fasted, cleansed, and supported her body, things shifted. It wasn’t overnight, but it happened in ways she was told were impossible. She haven’t been bothered by MS for 8 years now. Today, at 58, she feels stronger, calmer, and more alive. I would highly recommend if you are going through any autoimmune disease.
