Work Sample #6: "Nurse organizes lung cancer benefit"

There are some names nurses never expect to see on their list of patients.

Nurse Rebekah Tobin said she couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw her best friend’s name on the list.

Doctors diagnosed Tobin’s friend Annabelle Buckner with lung cancer in January. Tobin said she and her best friend were shocked because Buckner had never smoked a day in her life.

Work Sample #3: "Women calls hospital, saves husbands life"

Barbara Bornstein noticed something about her husband Jack Bornstein one morning while she made their bed.
She said his right arm seemed funny, and he continued to blink his right eye. And then he fell onto the bed.
Jack has Parkinson’s disease, so Barbara thought it might be something related to that. Jack told her not to worry about him, but just to be safe, she called 911.
And that call saved his life.
