Eastern Oklahoma VA Nurses Recognized in Great 100 Nurses of Oklahoma
Thirty-three nurses from the Eastern Oklahoma VA Health Care System were recently recognized as part of the Great 100 Nurses Celebration of Oklahoma.
They were selected based upon their contributions to the profession of Nursing and mentoring of others.
This is not the first time Eastern Oklahoma VA Health Care System has had nurses receive the honor of being named as part of the Great 100, however, having staff represent one-third of those selected this year has been exciting for not only the nursing team, but the entire health care system.
“Having so many nurses on the Top 100 Nurses of Oklahoma is a real testimony to the high-quality staff that we have here at Eastern Oklahoma VA Health Care System,” said Cami Strouse, acting associate director of Patient Care Services. “Not only the Top 100 Nurses, but our nursing staff as a whole are very dedicated to our mission and passionate about caring for Veterans.”
Lacey Price is one of the 33 nurses honored for going above and beyond in her field and in service to the Veterans served throughout the health care system.
Price says she loves working with Veterans at the Ernest Childers VA Outpatient Clinic, where she has been for the last 14 years.
“It is such an honor to be recognized amongst these really incredible people,” said Price. “This is my way of serving my country and giving back to those who have given everything for us. I take it seriously because I truly love my job and our Veterans.”
