Nurses To Be Honored!
Five nurses will meet mascot Gritty at Philly Flyers Nurse Appreciation Night! The winners will get 2 game tickets, Clove shoes, Fabletics scrubs, and other prizes!
Here are the 5 nurses that were chosen by an online vote:
Alexandra Biederman
Alexandra (Allie) Biederman has been a dedicated RN for several years at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach, Florida, and recently accepted a position with Virtua Health. She was born in Philadelphia and raised in New Jersey along with her 2 sisters (they are triplets) who are also outstanding registered nurses. Allie is a big fan of the Philadelphia sports teams, and especially loves hockey. She is a labor and delivery nurse who is so very knowledgeable and caring, making a profound impact on her patients individually, building great rapport with them. For example, a patient under Allie’s care called the hospital after being discharged to speak with her specifically because Allie was so kind and helpful with her one-on-one, truly making a positive impact. She catches babies and prevents falls, has received 2 DAISY nominations, and won the “Best Spirit of Teamwork” trophy in 2021, a testament of her ability to work well with others. Allie is understanding and compassionate, and she loves the field in which she works. She has worked with the geriatric population, which she very much enjoyed and found to be so rewarding, also. Allie truly cares and likes to continue learning in the field, and who she is as a person definitely makes her the awesome nurse that she is. It is not just a job for her, but a true labor of her eagerness to help and care for the well-being of others.
Carolyn Ulmer
I’m nominating my daughter, Carolyn Ulmer. Carolyn is a relatively new nurse. She graduated from Widener University May 2024, and started her career August 2024. Carolyn works in the Progessive Care Unit at Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Camden, NJ. It amazes me the growth, knowledge, and respect she has acquired in such a short time. Carolyn works hard for her patients and her coworkers. I couldn’t be prouder!
Danielle Sweeney
Danielle has been a critical care nurse for 13 years. She is a nurse on her hospital’s rapid response/code team. She thrives in high stakes situations drawing upon her knowledge and sense of calmness. She attends all hospital emergencies and also helps support staff members. Danielle has a special gift of remaining calm during even the most intense situations which helps keep her patients calm. She has been recognized by her patients and families for the support and calming presence she provides to them. Not only does Danielle show up to work and give her all to patients and the staff, she does so with a smile on her face even though she is facing adversity herself.
While she was pregnant, her husband was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. If you saw Danielle you would never know she was going through her toughest battle. She continued to work full time and provide life saving care to patients while also caring for her husband and helping arrange his treatment. She has said many times going through that helps her relate better with her patients and family.
Danielle is one of the biggest gritty and flyers fans I know. It would be nice to recognize all of her hard work and dedication and show how much she is appreciated. Danielle is truly a hero.
Erin Bovelle
Erin Bovelle is my sister. She's a dedicated nurse, currently in NP school. She's always actively furthering her education, and chatting with her co-workers and fellow students about new medical information. I hear her on the phone with co-workers who need help, she's always lending a helping hand. She has a wonderful relationship with her patients that write her letters after being in her care, thanking her for her kindness and hard work. Erin treats every patient like a family member, regardless of their age, gender, condition, etc. She constantly picks up shifts to help more patients when she can. She works in both home care and at a drug & alcohol rehab hospital, helping patients of all kinds both day and night. She is also a huge Philadelphia sports fan. She loves the city, the fans and the teams. She's loved the Flyers for years and dressed as Gritty for Halloween one year. While there aren't countless articles and links to share about Erin, her patients would rave about her any chance they could. Erin deserves the opportunity to be honored at nurse appreciation night, and everyday!
Samantha Liberatore
Sam is a level 4 NICU nurse at CHOP for 6 years. She graduated from Widener University. She won the Nurse Excellence award for clinician in 2024 for her unit. In the midst of caring for very critical patients she also does ecmo, dialysis, and participates in deliveries in the Special Delivery Unit at CHOP.

3 Nurses Honored at the Game!
The following nurses were nominated by the nursing community to be honored at Nurse Appreciation Night! After an online vote, they were selected to be recognized at the game. Congrats!
- Natasha Rossi - From Oncology Nurse to Cancer Survivor to FNP Student
- Marissa Rabik - Marissa consistently goes above and beyond for the patients in her care. She provides a calm and healing environment just by stepping into a room. Recently her excellent assessment skills recognized a delayed postpartum hemorrhage. Her prompt thinking and interventions help to save a new mother from a terrible outcome. I am so thankful she was there to care for this new mother. They were very fortunate to be in her hands.
- Jessica Abrams - She is an exceptional nurse who shows great caring and compassion for her patients. She supported me through my birth, and I don't think I would have been able to get through it without her. She has since changed to an education position where she has less 1:1 patient care but now shares her knowledge and skills to create a better generation of nurses.
Awards and Prizes:
- The 3 nurse winners each received:
- 2 game tickets, courtesy of Nurse.org
