TRS Healthcare’s 2024 Nurse of the Year nominees have all made a difference with their patients, facilities, and communities by providing exceptional healthcare. Though there could only be one Nurse of the Year winner, each of this year’s nominees deserves recognition for their remarkable work.
“Susan has completed 30 (almost 31) contracts with TRS Healthcare. She has been exceptional with her assignments and has always been responsive and easy to work with. She’s a good nurse and a good person. She goes to work, she often renews, and she’s a team player.” – Robin Clark, Susan’s recruiter
“Kelsey always goes above and beyond in providing compassionate and professional patient care. She’s able to interact with patients in a manner that’s comforting and positive. She’s always willing to help others and is a valued team member everywhere she works. I have been travel nursing with Kelsey for over a year, and it never stops to amaze me how hard working she is. Her flexibility and eagerness to learn new things is remarkable.” – Luis A.R., Kelsey’s travel partner
“There isn’t one specific thing that makes me think ‘wow’ when I think of Sue. It’s just everything that she does that makes her so wonderful. From the first moment I spoke to her, she was just so genuine and kind. She loves what she does, and she loves people. To me, Sue is not just one of my nurses. She’s a very dear friend.” – Shaunna Nastasi, Susan’s recruiter
“Lesly was amazing from the start. Her enthusiasm and love for taking care of others is apparent in the way she takes care of her patients. She genuinely had the best interest of not only my dad (her patient), but our family as well. She went out of her way to make sure my family was taken care of while she was caring for my dad...Anyone who has had Lesly as their nurse is so lucky to be in such amazing hands! Thank you, Lesly!” – a patient’s family member for Lesly’s DAISY Award
“My long-time traveler, Chresheika, was recently recognized for the Guardian Angel award (this facility’s form of the Daisy Award). Chresheika has traveled with TRS for 5+ years and is always a joy to work with, and I'm happy to hear she is getting recognition at her current facility. She is a wonderful caregiver.” - Katie Anderson, Chresheika’s recruiter
“Michael is one of the most kind and dedicated nurses I have ever met. He takes exceptional care of both his patients and the staff he works with. Every shift, he would bring Kombucha with fruit for a ‘pick me up’ in the afternoon. Michael spends extra time with his patients, holding their hands, reassuring, and tending to their needs. Michael never hesitated to help staff—he was the first in the room to move a patient off the gurney, start an IV, or answer someone’s call light.” – Hosanna H., Michael’s coworker
“Janice is an exceptional nurse. When she goes somewhere, they want her to stay FOREVER. She always goes above and beyond—I know this because every assignment asks her to extend constantly. She’s very dependable, quick, on top of everything, communicates great, and has a fantastic personality. She’s just so loveable!” – Tracy Porter, Janice’s recruiter
“Evie goes above and beyond to care for her patients and to help her coworkers. We have truly been blessed to have her work with us for the past year or so and hope that she will continue to come and work in the days ahead. I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this honor than her.” - Valarie C., coworker
“Darrell has gone through so much while he’s been my nurse, and I’m just so impressed with how he’s been able to overcome a lot of issues and keeps his head held high. He's been on 25 contracts with us, and he’s worked all over—core jobs, he’s been a manager, all those things—but he loves to travel and loves to work, which is why he does what he does.” – Robin Clark, Darrell’s recruiter
“Heather has traveled with us for seven years. I have never known her to brag about herself or her abilities, but I know the degree to which she goes above and beyond to care for her patients. She’s extremely flexible and always offers to fill in schedule gaps when needed. I have no doubt that wherever she travels, she is the most valuable and flexible team member.” – Spencer Puryear, Heather’s recruiter
“Since I have worked with Ashlie, she has received 5 WOW cards from the facility that she’s currently working at in Monument Health Rapid City Hospital. She started at this facility back in October of 2023, and since I took over as Ashlie's recruiter on April 14, 2024, she has received recognition 5 times by the facility, whether it be management or from coworkers. I think she truly defines what it is to be a traveler and to be all in and helping in whatever way she can at the facility.” – Kevin Cockburn, Ashlie’s recruiter
