Lavanda Jackson is a preceptor to recently hired nurses, a charge nurse, and an active member of the shared governance committee at Memorial Hospital West. Also, the unofficial cheerleader of the 5 Central Medical Surgical/Telemetry unit.
“Lavanda always maintains a positive attitude no matter the situation,” said Michelle House, the unit’s clinical manager. “She provides excellent care to all her patients and has a gift for making others feel comfortable, as evidenced by the feedback we receive from patients and families.”
House says Jackson has many other qualities that make her a ‘superstar’ within the unit, among them dependability, leadership, and being a team player. On the personal side, House cites Jackson’s ambition, self-discipline, and focus on goals as things that make her someone that is admired by peers.
