\"Despite my hands being full and my heart being fuller, I come to work every weekend with a positive attitude, ready to deliver the best care I can to my patients and their families.\" Jones is also a nurse at the WakeMed Emergency Department. Barry Swanner, manager of WakeMed Emergency Services, said in a statement: \"I can personally attest to her knowledge/ability to skillfully care for multiple patient populations and will also add that she is a valuable resource to her coworkers that are less experienced.\"

Each year William Peace University gives this special award to students that embody selflessness and commitment. William Peace University awards the Lynn Kendrick Erdman Scholarship to students who embody leadership and dedication throughout their educational journey.

The scholarship helps provide students with the financial assistance needed to fund their education. Erica Jastrow, director of the WPU BSN Program said: \"She is an excellent student and truly embodies caring and professionalism.
