Shirley J. Duvall: Smart, calming, compassionate
posted December 1st, 2008
Shirley J. Duvall, RN, Neuroscience at DUH, received the Janet H. Clapp Award for Excellence in Nursing Practice. A patient said:
“Shirley made us feel like my dad was her only patient, even though she had many others. Shirley is experienced, knowledgeable, and compassionate and she gives so much to others. She helped me calm myself while my dad was in surgery and regain a sense of peace. The next day, she checked on my dad in the ICU, and even checked on me and my mom before her shift began. This is a GREAT nurse, and we need more like her!”
