Ridgefield Visiting Nurse Association nurses Julie Gold and Geri Schneider have been named 2013 recipients of the Nightingale Award for Excellence in Nursing.
Ms. Gold, who joined RVNA in July 2012, was honored “for her passion to achieve the highest patient outcomes for her clientele as well as her quality of work and dedication. Julie’s ability to both address her patients’ needs and to be a supportive trainer sets her apart,” the association said.
Ms. Schneider, also with RVNA since July 2012, was honored for “her dedication and commitment to our flu clinic,” the association said. “She has taken on the responsibility of managing and planning the flu clinics. Her patience and kindness is profusely commented on and she is always willing to do whatever is asked of her, wearing a smile no matter how difficult or time-consuming the job may be.”
“They are both skilled nurses who have studied long, and worked hard, to earn this well-deserved recognition,” said RVNA President and CEO Theresa Santoro. “Geri and Julie practice nursing based upon the premise that the patient and/or client comes first.”
The nurses received their awards last week at a gala reception and dinner at the Stamford Marriott Hotel sponsored by Stamford Hospital.
