Peg is cognizant of the importance of building team cooperation within the office. A very thorough trainer and teacher, she devotes herself to making each staff member feel welcome. Peg consistently offers her support to staff members through a variety of social activities and through her advice and counseling during times of health problems or personal crises. Peg is primarily responsible for maintaining high standards of care for students who come to the clinic. In 1992, she passed the rigorous examination and practice requirements of the American Nurses Association and was awarded her certification as a College Health Nurse.
Peg models high standards for quality and expects no less from co-workers.
She has also developed and implemented several standardized nursing assessment forms that help all clinic nurses give consistent care. Because of her dedication to our students, to her profession, to her colleagues, and to the wider community, the University of Nebraska at Kearney is pleased to name Peg Nyffeler its Employee of the Month for January 2001.
