A Nurse at Geary Community Hospital Will be Leaving after 31 years for School Nursing

A Nurse who has been with Geary Community Hospital for over 31 years will be leaving to accept a full time nurse’s position at Geary USD 475.

Kristi Sherbert, RN, Center, was honored at the 2012 GCH Employee Recognition Banquet for 30 years of service. Presenting the award was Alice Jensen, Chief Operations Officer, Left, and Jody Hittle, RN, RIght, Unit Manager of the Surgery Center.

Since 1982, Kristi Sherbert, has been a nurse at GCH and she has spent 28 of those years working in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit within the Surgery Center. She is a registered nurse with a Bachelors of Science in Nursing degree.

Thousands of patients have awakened from anesthesia to her voice, “It is so rewarding to awaken a patient to share the news that their surgery is over and to enjoy sharing a good report,” she said. “I also cherish the times when I have given comfort when there was not good news.”

“I am grateful for all the wonderful and supportive experiences and life-long friendships I have had at Geary Community Hospital,” She said. She plans to continue working for the hospital as time allows.

A reception will be held on her last day, November 5th, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the Thomas B. Fegan Dining room.
