I was a first year nursing student in 1973 and I was assigned to Mrs. Pittman's unit 3C for my first 6 months. I was totally impressed and thought she was the "perfect nurse". I wanted to be just like her when I became a real nurse. She treated all of us new students with respect and helped us whenever she could. As I progressed through school and became a Senior, I was assigned to her unit to do my Leadership training. I was thrilled and from that moment on, I knew I'd use Mrs. Pittman as a role model. I worked with her many times in the future as an RN and always kept that respect for her. She was a caring nurse to everyone, patients, students, other nurses and doctors. Please know she made an impact in this world.
