Our senior nurse executive will bring her vision to the committee via our advisor and we make it happen,鈥 Burns explains.

Inspired by a video from the Beryl Institute, the senior nurse executive asked for a video about the patient experience at NMCSD. Burns had to submit her CV and interview for the role of project lead. She was selected.  鈥淭o create her vision, I coordinated the who, what, where, when, and went around with our AV specialist who did the filming and editing,鈥 notes Burns.  The film would raise awareness at the medical center and showcase all those who have an impact on patient care. NMCSD staff, according to the medical center鈥檚 website, is comprised of more than 6,500 military, civilian, contractor and volunteer personnel.
