A UWindsor nursing student and grad has received recognition for her clinical skills and compassionate care from her employer, Detroit Medical Center.

Detroit Receiving Hospital named Holly Trepanier (BScN 2014), a three-year veteran of its medical surgery telemetry unit currently pursuing her master’s degree, its Nurse of the Year.

Her manager called her an outstanding role model and noted her focus on continuously learning to improve her practice.

A citation announcing Trepanier’s award says she always advocates for patients: “Holly takes her profession very seriously; every day she comes to work she gives 100 per cent, not only to her patients but also to every patient on the unit.”
