Please join us in recognizing the following employees for a “job well done!”

January
Jan Knitz

Jan Knitz, our January Employee of the Month is someone that is often heard but not seen. She is the always-friendly voice of reason when you phone the office with a scheduling woe or otherwise. Around the 10th of each month Jan works her magic to assure our clients get the “best possible” coverage while also satisfying the needs of our nurses and families. A nearly impossible task...and one that many of us would refuse, even for a million $$$. But Jan has perfected the art of scheduling like no other. And while we’d love to say...always with a “happy face”….we feel the need to share with you that Jan has been known to pull her hair out, curse a little and roll her eyes on more than one occasion. But then she takes a whiff of her aroma therapy candle and all in the world is good again. Jan not only does amazing things with the schedules but she also keeps our medical records and employee charts in tip-top shape. So to Jan...thanks a million for all you do.
 

February
Nancy Becker

For February, we selected Nancy Becker as our Employee of the Month. Nancy has worked for CNS almost four years and during that time has proven over and over to be an exemplary employee. She is the primary nurse in client LaJaun’s home and we have heard over and over, from LaJaun herself, that she adores “her” Nancy. Nancy helped with the organization of nursing while LaJaun’s at school and at the conclusion of her night shift has everything gathered and ready to go for the nurses that take LaJaun to school. Nancy responds quickly to change and is always willing to try something new if it benefits the client. Nancy has been known to attend care conferences during her requested time off...and even without reservation or complaint. So here’s to you Nancy for your commitment to CNS, your clients and your profession.
 

 March
Lynell Tucker

When we sat down to begin the process of selecting the March Employee of the Month, it was without hesitation that in unison we all uttered the same name ~ Lynell Tucker. And just so you know...it was not a coincidence. We all truly think that highly of her. Since the first of the year, Lynell has stepped up to the plate and then some, in homes where sick-calls were a premium. Of the 28 days in February...Lynell worked 22 of them. And always without hesitation or complaint. Lynell currently cares for four different clients and just this past week added one more to the list. When we asked Lynell if she wanted to help transition a new client from hospital to home she jumped at the chance. Eager and willing to learn the specialized care for yet another child. Lynell is one of only a handful of nurses that every year takes advantage of the professional development $$$ offered by CNS to enhance her nursing skills. And it shows in the level of care she provides. She is loved dearly by all her clients and their families and the only complaint we hear is that they don’t get enough of her. So Lynell...thanks for your willingness to not only take care of the clients and families but for also taking good care of us!!
 

April
Judy Mwikhali

Judy Mwikhali, an absolute delight, is our April Employee of the Month. And for good reason. Judy is loved by all her clients, families, fellow nurses and...by all of us that work here in the office. Even Jan. Judy never has a bad word to say about anyone and always...always has a smile on her face. Judy works with two CNS clients and has recently accepted the role as primary nurse for both. An assignment few are asked to tackle but one Judy has most definitely embraced. She takes her job seriously, with a smile of course, and is always eager to learn all she can about the specialized care our clients require. When desperate times call for desperate measures we can often count on Judy to help out. And again...while showing those pearly whites. So Judy...thank you for making us your employer of choice and of course...for all you do!
 

 May
Jean Shaffer

Dependable, knowledgeable, skilled, compassionate are all reason’s why we selected Jean Shaffer as our May Employee of the Month. We call Jean our “Mother Hen” because she holds us accountable in a motherly sort of way. Currently, Jean cares for five CNS clients and a few others from other agencies. Because of that we often call on Jean when we need to move a nurse, or two to help with a cancellation. We so appreciate that Jean is willing to “switch gears” on short notice and always without hesitation. And just this past month Jean agreed to pick up a few extra shifts, sign on as an instructor during the skills lab and take on the Primary Nurse role for not just one but two CNS clients. Only adding to why Jean is so deserving of this honor. Congratulations Jean and “thank you” for your perpetual commitment to CNS.
