CLEARFIELD – Practical Nursing student Samantha Agnello was nominated for the September 2023 Sunflower Award by Brittani Morris and Madisyn Pritchard.
Samantha is in her second semester in the part-time CCCTC Practical Nursing Program and is being recognized for her strengths in going above and beyond expectations in the care of her patients, support to fellow students, facility members or communities.
The sunflower was chosen as it represents happiness, optimism, honesty, longevity, peace, admiration and devotion.
The sunflower surpasses all others in terms of its universal power to
bring people joy – all qualities future nurses hope to possess and show to their patients.
The student is nominated by fellow students, patients, instructors or anyone who has been touched and inspired by their work, kindness, compassion and dedication.
The students had this to say about Samantha in their nomination: “She always has a positive
attitude and she goes above and beyond. She is always willing to help a patient, no matter the reason. She is such a genuine and caring person.”
