Minnesota Twins Nurse Special Recognition
Event Recap
The Minnesota Twins and Nurse.org teamed up to celebrate nurses on May 6th, National Nurses Day. Nurses and other healthcare heroes showed their support for the incredible Twin Cities nursing community.
Nurse To Throw The First Pitch & Raise The Game Flag!
The nurse with the most votes threw the first pitch and the first runner-up raised the game flag! Each winner received 2 game tickets, Clove shoes, a prize bundle from Nuwest, and other prizes!
Here are the two nurses who were chosen by an online vote:
First Pitch Winner, Kayla Ourada: Kayla goes above and beyond what’s expected of her and is always striving to further her career.
Game Flag Winner, Rebecca (Reba) Leischner: Rebecca (Reba) Leischner is the lead ECT RN at Abbott Northwestern Hospital. She is one of the most hardworking, compassionate people I’ve had the privilege of working with. She cares so deeply for her patients, and our ECT team as well. Our department would not be the same without her. Our team always jokes, “Once Reba leaves, we’re all leaving”. Her love for baseball and the MN Twins is undeniable. She’s always talking stats, play by plays at work. She even loves to go to games solo on her days off just so she can watch.
