Certified Nurses Day is celebrated nationally on March 19 to honor nurses who achieve certification in their specialty. At MultiCare, we recognize the extra efforts our nurses take to achieve certification. Meet Certified Nurse Andrea Syverson, BSN, CCRN, a third-generation nurse who achieved board certification in critical care just last month. Andrea has been a nurse for 27 years – spending the last 12 at MultiCare Valley Hospital. “My plans for becoming a nurse began when I was six years old. I dressed up as a nurse for Halloween and declared my plans to my parents for my future! My mom and grandma were both nurses, so you could say it was in the genes.”
Yesterday, MultiCare administered its 100,000th COVID-19 vaccine dose.

“I just witnessed my peers as being, heroes –– warriors, I guess I would say. Just warriors in the sense that they came in with a certain braveness, not that they weren’t afraid, but they took off the fear, put it down maybe, and then walked in and said, let’s get this done.” –Jim Cornwell, Chaplain, Tacoma General Hospital March 5th is Employee Appreciation Day, and we take this moment to look back on the past year that our employees have faced as health care and frontline workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. MultiCare exists because of the bravery, compassion and dedication of each of our over 20,000 employees, and we are grateful for their service to our communities every day.
