Tina Wallace, RN

We are honored to have one of our own Orthopaedic nursing staff receive one of the two [UNC School of Medicine] outpatient Nursing Recognition Awards. Tina Wallace, RN, was nominated by Drs. Laurence Dahners (trauma) and Bob Esther (orthopaedic oncology).

Dr. Esther commented on Wallace, saying it takes an extremely talented nurse to respond to the diverse needs of orthopaedic trauma and tumor patients.  He went on to say that her compassion, combined with her extensive experience and clinical insight, make her an important part of the patient care team.

Thank you, Tina, for your hard work, commitment to excellence, and your dedication to patient care.

The UNC School of Medicine Nursing Recognition Awards Program receives numerous nominations annually. These nominations can be submitted by medical staff and administrative employees. Seven Nursing Recognition Awards are given:  three for inpatient services, one in advance practice or specialty nursing, one in nurse management, and two in outpatient clinics.   Award recipients are determined by their demonstration of excellence in nursing practice, evidence of special qualities of caring and compassion, as well as a commitment to teaching and education.   Sally Gillooly, RN, specializing in pediatric orthopaedics, was a previous award recipient.
