As a 17-year veteran of Carroll Hospital, nurse Michelle Rivers has seen a lot, but she couldn't help be moved when her colleagues honored her for her accomplishments. In May, Rivers was named the Carroll Hospital Nurse of the Year for 2017. Nurse of the Year has been awarded to one member of the Carroll Hospital staff during Nurses Week, in early May, for at least 20 years, according to Stephanie Reid, chief nursing officer at the hospital. Rivers came to Carroll Hospital 17 years ago because she was already living in Carroll, and she "wanted to be able to live in a community and serve in that community." Today, Rivers is a nursing education specialist, helping orient new nursing staff and train them on new software.
