Brightwell Nurses

About the BrightWell Nurse Award

The BrightWell Nurse Award is given annually to the extraordinary nurses at TRMC who exemplify inspirational, compassionate care and support to their patients, their team members and OUR community.   Recipients are nominated by the leadership team and selected based on their demonstration of the values exemplified by the nurse the award honors, Dorothy Brightwell.

The BrightWell Nurse Award symbolizes the moral and ethical fiber of Dorothy and recognizes nurses who embody the traits she exhibited daily:

• Advocacy for the patient, medically but also holistically
• Dedicated to the field of nursing and dependable on that dedication without hesitation
• Expectation of excellence in yourself in your performance as a nurse for the sake of patients, and not accepting of less from your team members
• Quick to come to the aid of those in need, both patients and peers, often willing to “go the extra mile“ when needed for either venue
• Honesty
• Integrity
• As a leader, not afraid to make a decision, choice, or recommendation that might be unpopular, if you believe it is the right one for the patient or any situation you faced
• Steadfast and unwavering when you know what is right or important.
• Servant leader inside the four walls of the hospital and outside in the mission field
