The hard skills required a high degree of financial accountability, efficient patient processing and proficiency on the computer. Nicole mastered all of these.

She did an outstanding job in this area by outpacing her peers well above the departmental

    Over the past 2 -3 months Kelly has repeatedly been recognized by provider's during my face-to-face visits, they have described her as an exceptional advocate for our members and valued collaborator to our providers. One-on-one provider visits are primarily led by the providers to address the topics they feel would be most helpful for them, which almost always leads to requests for a specific guided training or claim resolutions; so it was especially rare and inspiring to have several of them voluntarily make it a point to identify and praise one of our UHC CBCM's. It was encouraging to hear their perspective on how dedicated Kelly is to her members, and how reliable they find her to be in working with them to address any obsticles they may…

    I agree with Kaiser’s view of caring and curing complement each other through the focus in health promotion. This organization uses resources into curing the disease, but also uses in promoting health and preventing recurrence. The aspect of caring through health promotion is what makes this hospital different from other organizations. The caring model transformed Kaiser’s understanding of healing through patient satisfaction and performing the best to their needs in the hospital. My mission statement is based on my reflection on why I wanted to become a nurse. “to provide care, compassion, and safe nursing practice as I prevent illness, restore health and in the end make a positive difference in someone’s life each and everyday in my nursing career.” Caring is act of kindness and it is an ideal value I practice in nursing.
