Jodi Boory BSN, RN, CRRN, CHRN, CWCA

Jodi Boory’s clinical skill and especially her compassionate care exemplify the kind of nurse that our patients, their families, and our staff recognize as an outstanding role model.
A woman in her 60's recently came to our wound care clinic for evaluation of foot wounds due to arterial etiology. This woman was mentally alert and cognitively perfect; however her physical body was riddled with pain, weakness and contractions from multiple sclerosis. She was either wheelchair mobile or bed bound, unable to even transfer from the bed to a wheelchair without assistance. Her husband was her primary caregiver. Her husband was battling cancer which had recently spread into his lymph nodes. He was on chemotherapy and had just been given a prognosis that he only had a few months to live.
