The surprise quilt was made for one of my beloved co-workers. Lucie, after 40 years at Primary Children's Medical Center, decided to retire!. She started as a student nurse, transitioning to an RN and helping start the Diabetes Program over 35 years ago. She was one of the main reasons we have such a strong Diabetes Program at PCMC. Lucie then was our nurse manager for a time. She earned her Master's of Science in Nursing and became our Clinical Nurse Specialist. She is an amazing nurse, educator, leader, and friend. I believe she will be greatly missed...and leaving some BIG shoes to fill.
Lucie's career is inspiring, demonstrating incredible work ethic and dedication (I'm sure it wasn't always easy). I hope one day my career will be as filling and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, encouragement, inspiration, and friendship for the relatively short time I was privledged to work with you, Lucie! Happy Retirement!!!!
