Nikki Hamilton named December ALMH Employee of the Month

Nikki Hamilton of Springfield has been named the December Employee of the Month at Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital. Hamilton works at ALMH as a unit secretary and nurse tech in acute care. Her great attitude garnered her recognition and nominations from several co-workers.

"She is one of the best team players on the floor," said her nominator. "She always has a smile and always a positive attitude. We were so lucky to get her on our floor. She deserves this honor."

Another nominator mentioned that Hamilton is always willing to jump in and help anyone out: "Nikki goes the extra mile for her co-workers and our patients! She works hard every second she is here and never complains about any task, small or large. Her positive attitude is contagious!"

Hamilton began her ALMH career in dietary and has now been at the hospital for seven years. As a unit secretary, her duties include updating charts, verifying orders, setting up appointments, answering phones and call lights, and much more. As a tech, Hamilton gives direct care to patients, which can include meeting their general needs, helping to keep their pain under control with non-medical techniques and sometimes just comforting them.
