|
The National Association of Home Care & Hospice (NAHC) and the Home Healthcare Nurses Association (HHNA) have announced their choices for the top 50 home care and hospice nurses from across the country and our very own Addison County resident Jane Kearns, RN, was chosen to represent Vermont.
“Jane exemplifies all the best in professional nursing,” explains Marcia Wheeler, Hospice Team Leader, Addison County Home Health & Hospice. “She has excellent clinical skills and fully assesses each patient in all aspects of their life. She is compassionate, gentle and caring while also being a strong advocate for her patients. Jane is a quintessential home health and hospice RN.”
One nurse is recognized from each state and of those nurses, one will be chosen as the nurse of the year. In its second year, this ongoing recognition program collects stories of special home care and hospice nurses who have served their agencies by providing exceptional care, reducing hospital readmissions and making a difference in patients’ lives.
