Just got back to Flagstaff after a 24 hour trip to Phoenix. My coworker Beth was a finalist in a Nurseweek regional competition for being an outstanding mentor. I had nominated her and she was one of my mentors when I started at Flagstaff Medical Center. This is Beth and her boyfriend Chris at the awards dinner.
Beth is an amazing nurse. She doesn't just mentor new nurses, she is also a relief charge nurse, does mission trips to Central America, and lectures internationally on Reactive Attactment Disorder. Think that's impressive? She's only 26 or so! To top it off, she has an amazing sense of humor and is a truly nice person. Anyway, I was honored to attend with her (even when other assumed that I was her mother!) and we had a great time. They picked someone else to win, but I made sure Beth understood that she more than held her own in a field where the other nominees had been nurses over 20 years.
We got to stay in a posh resort, had a wonderful meal, and had time for a quick stop at Trader Joe's for groceries you can't find in Flagstaff. Of course it was hotter than you know what in Phoenix. Can't understand how anyone gets used to that!
