Critical Care Nursing CNIII (Clinical Excellence Award) Angel Angeles has a Master of Science degree in Nursing and over twenty-four years of neonatal, pediatric and adult critical care and emergency nursing experience. He is certified in Critical Care (CCRN) and is a member of the American Association of Critical Care Nurses. His other memberships include the American Nurses Association, the New York State Nurses Association, and the American College of Health Executives. He is currently preparing an abstract for possible presentation at the 2003 AACN's National Teaching Institute and Critical Care Exposition. Colleagues on the Cardio-Thoracic Intensive Care Unit (CTICU) refer to Angel as "a great inspiration," "a remarkably kind and sensitive person," and "a strong, experienced leader." Regarded as an "indispensable resource" for vital information, Angel excels as a mentor to new and senior staff who seek his expert guidance concerning difficult clinical issues. He has an impressive command of the leading edge technologies, therapies and equipment required for the advanced quality care of critically ill open heart patients. According to one night shift colleague, "He's always in the room of the sickest patient, brainstorming with doctors, physician assistants, and fellow nurses." Colleagues note that his calm reasoned approach is focused on assessing and meeting patients' needs to create positive outcomes in situations that might otherwise seem hopeless or overwhelming. Angel is described by one colleague as someone who "would rather light a candle than curse the darkness." One colleague stated, "No crisis is too overwhelming when Angel is working... nothing compares to the Angel on our shoulders." |
