Salute to Nurses – Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center

Victoria Carter has worked as a nurse in the Intensive Care Unit at Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center for two years. Carter started her career as a cardiac telemetry nurse before moving to ICU. She says the most rewarding part of being a nurse is being there for her patients at their most vulnerable. Carter wants to be there for patients when they’re feeling scared or anxious, and to try and make them feel better by being by their side and taking care of them during her shift. She received her associate degree in nursing from Palm State University. When Carter isn’t working, you can find her exercising and training for an upcoming race at Disney World.

 

 

Nixon Ciceron is a nurse working in the telemetry department at Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center. Ciceron enjoys being a nurse because he wants to help people recover from being sick so they can return to their loved ones as soon as possible. One of his most memorable stories of being a nurse occured when he recently treated a patient who tested positive for COVID-19. The patient shared a letter with Ciceron, and in the letter, the family wrote how much they wanted their hero to recover and come home. Ciceron provided emotional support and assurances to the family that he would do everything within his power to make sure that happened. After receiving amazing care at Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center, the patient was discharged the next day and is now back at home with his family. When Ciceron isn’t caring for patients, you can find him spending time with his family and playing basketball.
