Teamwork, respect and joy
Jeremiah Bos, RN, is the recipient of the 2025 Rising Star Award
Jeremiah started his career at Bronson in the fall of 2024 and it has been nothing short of amazing watching him grow in his talent, skill, and expertise as a novice nurse. He is a talent to watch as he provides care for his patients, his community, and all the peers he works with on a daily basis. It was evident he was a rising star when we were in the process of coding a patient early on in his career. He swiftly went into action ensuring compressions were started and the AED was in place while awaiting the code team to arrive. He demonstrated leadership skills staying calm under pressure, clearly communicating the medical information and history needed for the healthcare team to make quick decisions to care for his patient.
We have watched him take the time to educate his patients, keep them up to date with the plan of care, and attend to their needs - moving their progress and health forward with great ease.
He has not only shown stellar ability caring for his patients, but the community as well. We had a patient on the floor call us concerned they had just watched an individual fall outside their window near the sidewalk and they were not able to get up. Jeremiah took the time to secure his patient assignment and went outside to stay with the individual who fell until first responders arrived at the scene and transported them to the emergency room. He was able to stay with this individual so he didn't feel alone, and let him know that help was on the way. He is incredibly selfless and is gifted at caring for others outside of his assignment.
He has extraordinary time management skills that allows him to routinely check in on his peers, asking if they need any assistance during any downtime he may have. When patients are needing more care due to an abrupt change in acuity, he is never too far away, asking how he can assist the patient or his peers.
Recently, a newer employee shared how Jeremiah took the time to give "real time coaching" to her when it was time to complete multidisciplinary rounds. She appreciated his approach and the time he took to give her honest feedback and guidance.
He also has been known to expand his gifts into the field of baking and has brought in fresh baked goods for the team. Jeremiah has shown outstanding traits in leadership, bravery, along with quality care and compassion. Many of these examples take time to master and are not often seen with ease at the novice nurse level. They all have contributed to our culture that leads to greatness in teamwork, respect, and joy. We are truly blessed to have Jeremiah in our unit, and we are so excited to continue to watch him grow in his practice from novice to expert nurse.
