TriHealth, Inc. Award

Suzanne Smith

Shiners’ Hospitals for Children

Imagine a nurse described as “never one to feel that she has enough to do.” That’s Suzanne Smith in the words of one nominator, who noted that she is an adjunct instructor at the College of Mount St. Joseph in addition to her duties as night shift supervisor at Shiners’ Hospitals for Children. On a typical night, Suzanne might have reports on 30 patients, find staffing for the night evening’s shift, set up a transport from Florida and referee a dispute. But her main satisfaction comes from the many ways she makes a difference in the lives of the children she serves. Making a difference also extends to her teaching duties, working with student nurses for the past eight years. “By shaping the future of nursing,” the nominator said, “Suzanne is the teacher and role model that we all remember.”
