BrightStar Care of Williamsburg Celebrates National Nurses Week - Nurse Recognition
Thank You to Our Williamsburg Director of Nursing
Nurses aren’t angels, but they may be the closest thing we have in the workplace.
For 12 of past 13 years, nurses have topped the Gallup Poll of the most trustworthy professionals. Patients and their families know why.
While doctors diagnose illnesses and prescribe medication, surgery or other treatment, it’s often nurses who explain medical procedures, help manage symptoms, respond to emergencies, listen to family concerns, allay patient fears, soothe worries and find ways to make difficult situations bearable.
A nurse’s mission is not only to save lives, but to promote and preserve quality of life.
We are very grateful to have an exceptionally compassionate Director of Nursing at BrightStar Care of Williamsburg and want to recognize her during National Nurses Week for all her contribution and commitment to providing our clients with a higher standard of care.
Meet Amy J. Kleinschmidt, RN | Director of Nursing
I received my registered nursing license in 2006 after my husband retired from the military and we purchased a home on the Peninsula. I spent a number of years as a Hematology/Oncology Nurse working in a local hospital and earned an Advanced Certification in Oncology. As gratifying as working on “the floor” was, I wanted to spend more time with patients and their families to help them during the final stages of life so I transitioned to Hospice Nursing. I worked on two Hospice cases with BrightStar in which we were providing 24 hour Personal Care. I was very impressed with the quality of Nurses and CNAs I encountered on those two cases and with Michael Walton’s personal and business philosophies. I officially became part of the BrightStar Care of Williamsburg team in February 2013 and recently was promoted to the Director of Nursing position.
At BrightStar Care, we work as a team and each one of us is a vital player. The client’s needs come first and we work very hard to provide exceptional care, from the nurse’s to the CNA’s to our administrative staff and assistant who answers the phone. We are accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare, and we take that seriously. BrightStar Care is committed to quality care and I am happy to be a part of the team.
