Brendi Gale, RN, Northwest Medical Center-Bentonville Trauma Coordinator, was recognized on April 9th as one of the "Great 100 Nurses" for the state of Arkansas. Her nominator, Mickey Stout, Director for Emergency Services for Northwest Health, cited both her work with patients and families in the hospital as well as about her community service.
In the Emergency Department, Gale's "empathy and compassion is displayed when she is dealing with families struggling with difficult circumstances, keeping comfort for them a priority at all times," according Stouts. Additionally, in the community, Gale partnered with Bentonville High School Ignite students, the Emergency Nurses Association, Northwest Health, and the Bentonville and Centerton Fire Departments to develop a 'wake-up call' for the students. The focus was on distracted driving by teenage drivers. The docu-drama featured a "fatal car crash" resulting in the death of two students and a family member. This garnered both local and national visibility with a feature article in the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) magazine.
