Paper names Monica Rogers, R.N. one of Wyoming’s Top Nurses

"Monica always makes sure her patients are taken care of, but she also makes sure her co-workers are taken care of as well. What makes a great nurse is not only herself but the co-workers she surrounds herself with. Monica will cover for others if they need the day off, or simply if they are short staffed she will come in and make sure the patients can get the care they need and deserve. Her compassion for her job, and her coworkers are something not many can do." — Sonya Milburn More »
