Gold Humanism Honor Society

Congratulations to Meredith Nelson, MSII, the Gold Humanism Honor Society Student of the Month for July! Meredith Nelson always brings a selfless attitude to her patients while working with the LSU Health Shreveport COVID-19 Task Force, swabbing elderly patients for COVID-19 in nursing homes around North Louisiana. She shows kindness and compassion to all patients, always taking time to make sure each patient fully understands the test, why it is necessary, and why certain safety measures like masks are so important. She makes each patient feel special, important, and understood. Meredith always extends a hand to hold, offers encouragement to those who are nervous or scared, and makes sure to show that same kindness to her fellow team members. Meredith’s caring heart and commitment to compassion exemplify humanism in a time when social distancing has redefined connection. Congratulations, Meredith!
