Over 50 nurses at Abilene Regional Medical Center were nominated recently for ARMC’s prestigious Patient Choice Award. Nurses nominated for this award are recognized for providing outstanding quality of patient care, comfort and compassion. Continuing the tradition of the last few years, the program is designed to honor nurses in general; and one nurse in particular. Patients are asked to recognize the best of the best in ARMC’s team of nurses by identifying one remarkable caregiver. Ashley Mitchell, R.N. is one of those remarkable nurses and was named ARMC’s 2012 Patient Choice Award recipient, during an awards luncheon June 20. In attendance were fellow nominees, nursing directors, members of the ARMC administration team and Board of Trustees. “I am very touched and honored to receive this award,” said Mitchell. “Thank you.” Mitchell has worked in the medical surgery department at ARMC for less than 12 months, yet has touched several patients’ lives during her short time. Her professional manner, friendly attitude and peppy demeanor were all reasons listed as why Ashley was nominated. “Delightful young lady!” one patient describes Mitchell. “She takes her job seriously; going about her nursing duties with a joyful heart and friendly smile. She makes you feel like she cares about you. It’s not just a job to her. It’s her calling.”
