She will be leaving our NICU team in May to work for a year in Uganda as a child advocate. This is volunteer work and she has fundraised the money that she will need to live for a year while taking care of these children in need.

Wimberly Melton, R.N.<\/strong>
\nShock Trauma Intensive Care Unit
\n\u201cA simple \u2018thank you\u2019 seems wholly inadequate to express our appreciation for the nursing care she provided when our 19-year-old granddaughter, Cherissa, was a patient in Memorial Hermann (Texas Trauma Institute)\u2019s ShockTrauma ICU in June. From the moment that my husband and I arrived on the unit, she provided us with everything we needed to cope with the situation we faced. I will forever remember the kindness, sensitivity, responsiveness, respect, and support she provided every moment throughout that day and into the night. From one critical care nurse to another, from one trauma nurse to another, you were beyond the best, Wimberly, so thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 JoAnn Grif Alspach, R.N., Editor of Critical Care Nurse Journal<\/p>\n

\nNellie B. Connally Breast Center

Angela Krach, B.S.N., R.N., O.C.N. <\/strong>
\nInpatient Stem Cell Transplant and Cellular Therapies Unit
\n\u201cIt\u2019s difficult to stand out, head and shoulders above the other nurses at an institution of MD Anderson\u2019s magnitude. But Angela Krach does stand out not only for her exceptional clinical skills, but also for her caring compassion and commitment to patients
\nand caregivers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Colleague<\/p>\n

Mary Lou Warren, D.N.P., R.N., C.C.R.N., A.C.N.S.-B.C., C.C.C.N.S. <\/strong>

\nMain 7SW, General Medicine\/GI\/ Hepatology Unit
\n\u201cMany colleagues may view Lori as a quiet nurse, but while she talks little, she listens more. Serving as a charge nurse on the nightshift is not an easy job, but what Lori says she enjoys the most about the night shift is that it provides the best opportunity to sit at the bedside and listen to her patients as they unfold their stories. There are those who cannot sleep because of the pain and many worries, and there are those who are just afraid to sleep that they might not see another day. It is in those moments that Lori feels she is making a difference and is ensured that she made the right decision in becoming a nurse.\u201d<\/p>\n
