Nurse & PA Recruitment and Retention Annual Report FY23 57
“ I am new to my CND role and she has helped coach me through the hiring process. I have
Laura (Shakarjian)

come to her with multiple questions and she answers them quickly and respectfully. I have
at times submitted incomplete information and she has directed me to the additional forms
I need to hire appropriate staff without frustration and turning it into a positive teaching
moment. She has also taken the time to stop and introduce herself to me in person at public
events.

~ TJ Sobeck (PCTU Interim CND)
“ and operations has been extremely helpful to the team. She had
Delmere (Oliver)’s breadth of knowledge related to HR policies

a huge learning curve related to her new role but has adapted
well and took on the biggest task of Nurses’ Week events with
enthusiasm and commitment. I truly enjoy working with her and
appreciate her kindness, sense of humor and ability to share her
voice in our discussions.
~ Kathie Krebs (NRR Nurse Recruiter)
“ Jen (Hawkins) is a dynamo. Although she has been tasked with a heavy workload in the

past couple of years, she maintains a high energy, focus and drive that has allowed her
to succeed. I appreciate Jen’s willingness to always help with complex data pulls and
her turnaround time is impressive. I was thrilled when Jen received her well-deserved
promotion into a lead role and I’m confident she will continue to thrive in this new position.
Appreciate all that you do for Nursing and the NRR team!

~ Bill Morin (NRR Workforce Planning Specialist)

Gwen (Kearly) is one of the most supportive leaders I have come across in my 30
years working. She is an exceptional listener, educator and executive leader. Gwen
is approachable to all and extremely humble in her approach as an executive
when working with others. She is “all in” and provides very sound, strategic
advice whether it is as a mentor or leading staffing challenges or financial and
strategy discussion and decisions. She is a role model for all things HRO. I learn
more from watching Gwen in a 1-hour meeting than I do from others in a full year.
Any leader can learn a lot from Gwen on respect, empowering your team, trusting
others and assuming good intent. It goes without saying Gwen is a legend, but
it is how she carries herself and her passion as our Recruitment & Retention
Executive leader that makes her truly exceptional and one of the best in our field.

~ Kelly Baird-Cox (CNO, Mott Children’s Hospital and VVWH)

“ Bill (Morin) has always been a trusted partner to us here in HR. He is quick to respond to

questions, collaborates effectively and always willing to provide/share information that is
valuable to HR. I have always appreciated and enjoyed working and partnering with Bill!”
~ Tanesha Martin (General HR Services Lead)
