Yearning for more growth, she opted for an internal transfer to the Surgical Intensive Care Unit in 2010. It was in SICU where Ms. Johnson grew even more professionally. Ms. Johnson is loved and respected by her patients. She has built an excellent rapport with them and provides care with evidence-based practices. Over the past 10 years as a critical care nurse, she has earned her certification in Trauma Nurse Core Course (TNCC) and Trauma Care after Resuscitation (TCAR).

Ms. Johnson has proven to be a hard worker, an excellent leader and mentor and is well respected by her colleagues. She is frequently called upon to orient new members to the critical care units. She also steps in to be an acting charge nurse on numerous occasions.

When COVID-19 became rampant throughout the New York City area, Ms. Johnson stepped up to the call to action. She assisted with the spearheading of the new Medical Intensive Unit that was designated to patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Ms. Johnson has continued to work courageously, providing her patients with compassionate care.
