Linda Taylor: Gentle but firm patient advocate
posted February 13th, 2009
Linda Taylor, RN, Operating Room at DUH, received the Award for Excellence in Nursing Leadership. A colleague said:
“Linda is an excellent communicator. She keeps the patients’ families informed if there is a delay in the surgery. She is gentle and respectful but firm in making sure the right thing is done. She is ‘true-blue,’ fair, a superior patient advocate, a concerned mentor, tough when needed and an all around fantastic leader.”
