Good Samaritan Medical Center’s Chief Nursing Officer, Angela Prestia RN MSN NE-BC, recently received the accolade of the Commitment to Community award at the Palm Health Care 2012 Commitment to Community and Volunteer Recognition luncheon. Prestia was honored as a community partner for her continuous dedication to promoting the profession of nursing in Palm Beach County.
In her tenure as CNO at Good Samaritan, Prestia has been known as a leader in the nursing community. Prestia championed the novice nurse leadership institute, a program for newly licensed nurses (12-18 months) that helped integrate them into the profession, and engaged them with colleagues and the community they serve. Prestia had six nurses from Good Samaritan as participants in the program.
