HONOREES
Gail Benedetti
An indispensable resource
Benedetti says it can be tough juggling the difficult tasks she needs to do, but it's important to have a sense of calmness when you walk into a patient's room.
Inge Corless
Giving students the big picture
Corless has been recognized with more than a dozen awards honoring her work as a teacher and role model in AIDS care, palliative care, and hospice. But she is not one to rest on her laurels.
Janice Tully
A case manager who puts others first
Regardless of a patient's time in the hospital, 36 hours or 2 months, Tully says she is almost always able to help because of her years of experience as a bedside nurse.
Teresa Colacitti
Nothing rattles this skillful caregiver
Colacitti sees between five and eight people a day, and usually has a caseload of 40-plus homebound patients logged into her PDA. That's in addition to managing her own complex family life.
FEATURES
Nursing specialties let caregivers follow their passions
From the traditional specialties of nurse practitioner and delivery room nurse, to the newer roles of disaster nurse and telephone-triage nurse, the career of today's nurse is a dynamic occupation.
Saving the dummy saves lives
Training on simulators is a time-honored practice for teaching critical thinking skills to pilots and physicians. Now simulators are seen as frontline tools to combat medical errors and improve care.
