Here are the ten nurses who were chosen by an online vote:
Abigail McLeavy
Abigail McLeavy is a nurse at Mass Eye and Ear. Abby put herself through nursing school while working as a nursing technician at two hospitals and while competing as a D1 athlete. In less than a year she has already received the Daisy Award at her hospital. This award is for providing extraordinary care to patients and is a great honor. She is now applying to nurse practitioner programs in the area to further her education. She has a great love for the Boston community and when time allows enjoys participating in area events such as walkathons and 5 mile Harpoon runs. And of course Red Sox games!!
Victoria Fallon
We work for the City of Quincy. Victoria works at an elementary school providing daily care to the students and managing chronic conditions. She was with me as a second nurse in a Middle School assisting me with roughly 500 students. I was pregnant and she was my saving grace!! She is so positive and takes the best care of our kiddos everyday. Most of this goes unnoticed but I want her to know that I notice! All the nurses at Quincy Public Schools are amazing and I'm the luckiest nurse to not only have the best coworkers but the best students! Thank you for your consideration.
Kat Filipova
Katerina, or as most people call her, Kat, is an oncology nurse whose empathy, compassion, support, care, and love shines in all aspects of her life. I have heard countless stories about how she goes the extra mile to ensure that her patients get the correct dosage, the correct care, and the correct understanding and are advocated for at all times. One specific instance of this was on New Years night, Kat was helping a patient that she had been advocating needed to be put into a more intensive unit. While helping them with a certain task, they started to feint, however, she caught them upright, avoiding any injuries to the patient, while twisting her own ankle mid-catch. Yet, amidst all of the pain she was feeling, all she could think about and be concerned about, was making sure the patient was feeling okay and getting the proper care they needed. This is the kind of nurse Kat is; selfless, strong, brave, and brilliant, which is why I am nominating her for this year's Boston Red Sox Nurse Appreciation Night. She truly is one of a kind in the eyes of her patients, family, friends, loved ones, and myself. Additionally, Kat is phenomenal with patients of all ages, having worked in nursing homes and often dealing with elderly patients in her current role, they all adore her and she is constantly told how she brightens their day by her mere presence due to how kind and caring she is. However, her next big dream and goal is to be a Pediatrics Oncology Nurse and to work with children. This is a role she will absolutely thrive in someday, as she is able to relate to kids through her empathy and love for certain interests kids might have such as the minions or other cartoons! I'm excited to see where this career takes her, but regardless of where it goes, I know that she will be the best nurse she can possibly be and I want everyone to see how amazing she is.
Kathleen Binell
Kathleen has been a NICU nurse for over 30 years at Brigham and Women's hospital and has made an impact on hundreds of patients lives. She is patient, caring, and knowledgable - takes pride in teaching parents about the ins and outs of taking care of their new baby. She ensures that families feel supported through such a challenging situation. She loves to give families mementos such as photos of their newborns or special blankets as keepsakes. Kathleen was awarded the Daisy Awards in 2022 for her outstanding work: https://www.daisyfoundation.org/daisy-award/honorees/kathleen-binell Kathleen is beyond passionate about her work and is the most dedicated nurse I know.
Kaitlyn Driscoll
Kaitlyn Driscoll is a 25 year old nurse working on the cardiovascular step down unit. She is extremely passionate about the work she is doing and her main priority is always to ensure her patients are always comfortable. I’ve never met anyone that seems so fulfilled by their work in the way Kait is. She is always a team player and whenever she tells me stories about her days she never fails to give credit to the nurses/doctors that work around her too! She is a great mentor and leader in nursing and is always happy to have an intern or student shadowing her. I can tell by how she speaks about them that she really enjoys teaching about the work she is doing and is always happy when they are succeeding. She is always willing to go the extra mile for her patients and do the things that most people in the world would not want to do (give baths, change bed pans, take blood tests, etc) The way she speaks about the hospital it sounds like everyone deserves to be at this game, but I really hope you will select her to be one of them! Thank you!
Randall J Bomba
I am honored to nominate Randall, an exceptional Interventional Radiology (IR) nurse at Lowell General, for this well-deserved recognition. With over 20 years of dedicated service, Randall has become a pillar of excellence in our hospital. His unwavering compassion, clinical expertise, and kindness set him apart as not just an outstanding nurse, but a truly remarkable human being.
Randall's patients consistently praise his comforting presence, gentle care, and ability to make even the most anxious individuals feel at ease. He treats every patient and family member with empathy and respect, ensuring they feel heard and supported throughout their care journey. His ability to build genuine connections has made him beloved not only by those he serves but by colleagues across the hospital.
Beyond his professional excellence, Randall is also a devoted husband and father of two, balancing his demanding career with grace and dedication to his family. His ability to bring warmth, humor, and compassion into his work every day is an inspiration to all who have the privilege of working with him.
Randall embodies the true spirit of nursing—selfless, skilled, and wholeheartedly committed to making a difference in the lives of others. I can think of no one more deserving of this recognition, and I wholeheartedly recommend him for this honor.
Donna Duffy
Donna has been a nurse for nearly 40 years. She has been a die-hard Red Sox fan her entire life! Nothing would be better than affording Donna the opportunity to celebrate her beloved team along with her career.
Julianne Carey
One of the hardest workers I know that is truly passionate about others
Vanessa Defayette
I’m nominating Vanessa Defayette, RN. She is a HUGE Red Sox fan! She is a wife, mother, and amazing NICU nurse. Vanessa uses humor to lighten everyone around her during a stressful situation and demonstrates compassion with parents and loving care of their infants receiving critical care in the NICU. She is calm under pressure when she is our charge nurse. I would LOVE to see Vanessa throw the first pitch to say thank you for all she does!
Amanda Burke
Amanda is a nurse who cares so deeply about her patients. She worked as a clinical assistant at Boston Children’s Hospital for almost 10 years while she put herself through nursing school and came back to that same hospital to work as a nurse. She goes above and beyond for her patients, especially the pulmonary patients that have a special place in her heart after all those years working in the clinic.
