Flowers Hospital is proud to announce that Betty Morris, LPN, has been selected to receive its 2022 Nursing Excellence Award.
This peer-nominated award, given in recognition of the critical role nurses play in treating our patients, was open to qualifying RNs and LPNs working in a direct patient care position who consistently demonstrate characteristics synonymous with nursing excellence.
Betty was chosen from among multiple nominations for her outstanding contributions in the areas of compassionate care, patient advocacy, and mentorship to others. She is described by her co-workers as being one of the most consistent and knowledgeable nurses in the hospital, leading by example and serving as a valuable resource and mentor to new and veteran nurses.
“Flowers Hospital is fortunate to have many outstanding nurses like Betty among its ranks. Nurses who deliver exemplary care, compassion and service, who understand the importance of teamwork and mentoring others, who can lead in times of crises, and who are true champions of promoting healthcare in our community,” said Jeff Brannon, CEO of Flowers Hospital. “With an ongoing focus this year on the selfless efforts of healthcare professionals like Betty, we are pleased to acknowledge the important contributions of our nursing professionals.”
Betty joined the hospital in June 1973 and currently works on the orthopedic nursing floor. She has experienced many changes throughout her 49-year career and uses those experiences to train and mentor others.
In addition to receiving the Nursing Excellence Award itself, Betty received a cash prize and a copy of “Shining the Light on All the Right” by Mark and Bonnie Barnes, co-founders of The DAISY Foundation, an international movement created to recognize and express gratitude for extraordinary nursing.
