Pay It Forward

When 6T nurses heard an inspiring diabetes management presentation by Renee Thompson, R.N., M.S.N. (left), of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center at a national conference, they knew they wanted their colleagues to hear it too. “When nurses attend these events, the expectation is that they bring something back—whether it’s to help a colleague, change practice or take care to the next level,” says director Beth Kessler, R.N. So 6T Reward and Recognition Committee members hosted a bake sale to raise the money to bring Thompson to Lehigh Valley Hospital and Health Network. The event (which Kessler personally catered) was opened to all clinicians and more than 75 caregivers attended.
