Jade Maybee, RN, was recently presented the third quarter nightingale award. Maybee is a nurse clinical supervisor on the second floor at Olean General Hospital (OGH).
The nightingale award is a result of nominations from medical providers and presented quarterly to a nurse who provides exceptional patient care, excels in patient and family teachings, creates an environment of efficient open communication with patients, as well as serving as a role model for peers.
“Jade Maybee is a patient advocate, kind, very compassionate, and overall a good human being. She is one of the best nurses and an asset to the organization,” according to her nomination.
Upper Allegheny Health System (UAHS) named the nursing award after Florence Nightingale, who laid the groundwork for the philosophy and underpinnings of modern-day nursing. Throughout Florence Nightingale’s career she displayed qualities such as integrity, nursing excellence, compassion, and service. Jade Maybee received the nightingale award because she exudes these qualities as a nurse within the organization.
