The selection team shared a few comments made about Zachary:
o “This person is always a team player and willing to help peers as well as nursing staff whenever needed. Also, this student nurse is caring and compassionate toward patients and their family members. Recognizes the needs of the patient beyond medications and tasks. Some could say this person has “mad IV skills” and is adored by the patients, especially “the little old ladies.” Nursing is not only caring about the physical aspect of a patient but also the emotional and spiritual and Zack displays these nursing core values.” –Staff RN
