Who knows how to do that? Where do I even start? How do we get more of these?

Oh, yes, the administrative professional is often the “invisible” member of the team, working behind the scenes and ensuring everything flows smoothly and everyone else looks awesome. If you think nursing can be a thankless job, you should try being an administrative professional one day!

I’ve had and continue to have the privilege of working alongside some amazing administrative professionals. Their knowledge, level of detail, professionalism, and willingness to help amazes me. Whether it’s your unit clerk, your office assistant, or the executive assistant who always makes sure to get you on a leader’s calendar to discuss your concerns, there’s an administrative assistant you can honor this week. Administrative Professionals Day is Wednesday, April 24, 2013, so you still have time to find the perfect gift or card!
