Aureus Medical is happy to announce its Employees of the Quarter. Employees are nominated by their Account Managers each quarter. The winners will then be included in the 2011 Employee of the Year nominations. Congratulations to all!
Dean S., Respiratory Therapist
Dean has been awarded the honor of Employee of the Quarter for the Cardiopulmonary Division of Aureus Medical Group. Dean is on his 11th assignment with Aureus and to say that he is loved wherever he works is an understatement. Besides being flexible, Dean is also dependable. Whether he is asked to work days or nights, he is always willing to do it. His traveling companion, Pickles, keeps him company on trips to the lake and trips back home to Arkansas to visit his wife and grandson. He is incredibly easy to work with and always ready with a friendly greeting when we call. We truly appreciate everything Dean has done for Aureus!
Julie D., General/Vascular Ultrasound Technologist
Julie has been awarded the honor of Employee of the Quarter for the Diagnostic Imaging Division of Aureus Medical Group. Julie has been at her current assignment for the past six months. She has been described by others as thorough, insightful, and most importantly, friendly to all she comes in contact with. In addition to her positive attitude and excellent technical skills, Julie is always going above and beyond to help out the facility when she can. Several times during this assignment others in the department have had conflicts or scheduling issues and she has stepped up without hesitation and offered to switch to a less desirable shift or take extra call. Julie is a true asset to Aureus Medical.
Roberta C., Histotechnologist
Roberta (Bobbie) has been awarded the honor of Employee of the Quarter for the Medical Laboratory Division of Aureus Medical Group. Bobbie has been nothing but outstanding since day one! Not only has she worked seven assignments for Aureus, she has completed each one with exceptional performance reviews and managers phoning to say they wish she would never leave! On Bobbie’s last assignment, her supervising manager not only complimented her on her technical experience, but explained to her Account Manager that she also acted as an in-house counselor resolving many personality issues they were having in the lab. A couple of unhappy, grumpy employees transformed into happy-go-lucky, “excited to be at work” histologists – something the manager thought he would never see. She lightened the mood of the lab and boosted the morale. Bobbie is truly a role model for all Histotechs and an absolute joy to work with.
Sallie S., RN
Sallie has been awarded the honor of Employee of the Quarter for the Nursing Division of Aureus Medical Group. Sallie has been traveling with Aureus for over six years and has logged 12,282 hours. She defines dedication and loyalty. She is always positive when speaking with her Account Manager. Sallie provides great feedback on the hospital units she works with. Every hospital she has worked for has wanted to hire her on full-time. “Thank you for allowing Sallie to be part of our team. She fits in well with our team and needs little direction. Very professional individual and a joy to work with. Thank you!” and “I wish we had more nurses like Sallie” are just a couple of the comments we’ve heard from her supervisors. She always goes above and beyond and is a fantastic representative of the nursing profession.
Christine D., Occupational Therapist
Christine has been awarded the honor of Employee of the Quarter for the Rehab Therapy Division of Aureus Medical Group. She has been working with Aureus for five years and is currently on her 14th assignment. Christine is hard-working and doesn’t let obstacles hold her back. She possesses all the qualities that a traveler should have: loyalty, honesty, strong work ethics, and resiliency. Christine is a true asset to Aureus Medical Group!
