Telemetry Unit Charge Nurse Jamie Honored as Nurse Excellence for July 2019

Telemetry Unit Charge Nurse Jamie has received the North Oaks Health System Nurse Excellence Award for July 2019.

Jamie joined the Telemetry team in 2011 as a Registered Nurse and was promoted to Charge Nurse in 2014.

The impact a great nurse can have on patients was impressed upon her by her own doctors’ visits and medical testing growing up.

“My love of caring for people and fascination with the medical field are perfectly combined in my chosen career of nursing,” Jamie shares.

She earned a bachelor’s degree in Nursing from Southeastern Louisiana University.

Jamie lives in Walker with her husband Joey and their sons–Hunter, 12; and Jackson, 6.

Away from work, Jamie prioritizes family time and fishing with Joey. When she needs to recharge, she likes to bake!

"Jamie is known as a ‘mother duck’ because of the way she invests in the success of new nurses," affirms Telemetry Unit Clinical Nurse Manager Jesse Donahue. "As a Charge Nurse, Jamie is a source of comfort and strength to her peers. They especially appreciate the time she takes to visit every patient, every night and how she promotes teamwork to ensure each patient receives the best care and experience possible.”

"I love helping new nurses build their confidence," Jamie shares.
