Happy National Nurses Week to our amazing nurses. Every day is your day, but this week is specially set aside for you! We appreciate all that you do for our patients and staff. Thank you for all your help, support and compassion. We asked Meghan Dunn, nurse supervisor, what she enjoys most about being a nurse. “I find it to be a challenging and fulfilling job where I’m using critical thinking skills and I get to help patients, as well,” she said.
