Show Anderson named Nurse of Year May 8 was "Nurses Day" at American Fork Hospital. There was unanimous approval when Janelle Anderson was chosen as "Nurse of the Year." Janelle is the Unit Manager for the Intensive Care Unit. She lives in Lindon with her husband, Ed, and their four children. Janelle is not only a highly trained professional nurse, she also exhibits care and concern for her critically ill patients, some whose side she often doesn't leave for hours. Toni Propotnik, Nurse Administrator Ad-ministrator at LDS Hospital, spoke at the nurses luncheon that day. She discussed the challenges and opportunities op-portunities of nursing during the 80's. Expressing concern that women are choosing other fields, she stressed the need for a campaign to enhance careers in nursing. This would help improve the current nurses shortage. Several local merchants donated gifts and drawings were held daily during the previous week. The nurses were treated to a special surprise at Friday's luncheon lun-cheon - it was served by the doctors at American Fork Hospital. |
