Summer Cornwell, RN, received the 2017 Fauquier Health Nursing Excellence award. |
Every year Fauquier
Health recognizes one special nurse for his or her expertise and compassionate
care. Nine nurses were nominated for this year’s Nursing Excellence award:
Debbie Brown, RN (Surgical Services); Summer Cornwell, RN (Medical/Surgical
Unit); Jennifer Horste, RN (Progressive Care Unit); Patty Jeffries, RN (Case Management); Shana
Jenkins, RN (Intensive Care Unit); Tonya Lee, RN (Progressive Care Unit); Emily
Martin, RN (Progressive Care Unit); Jessica Randall, RN (Progressive Care
Unit), and Kim Steves, RN (Emergency Department). This year’s recipient of the
award for Nursing Excellence is Summer Cornwell.
Cornwell joined Fauquier
Hospital in June of 2006, where she worked as a tech until she earned her
nursing degree in 2007. Cornwell soon developed into a strong clinical leader.
She is active on the third-floor patient care unit as a primary pediatrics and
resource nurse and has been a mentor to new nurses. Cornwell achieved her
Clinical ladder III recognition earlier this year.
Cornwell is recognized by her patients for her compassionate
and loving demeanor and her willingness to listen. Ranelle Merrick, RN, who
nominated Cornwell, said, “Summer is an active voice for her unit and her
patients. Summer will bring up issues and problems, but always has ideas and
possible solutions. And Summer welcomes new staff with open arms and a
welcoming smile.”
