Estie Muranyi, RN, BSN, a St. Agnes Hospital surgical nurse, was among four individuals recently presented with Nightingale Awards for Nursing Practice by the University of Wisconsin – Oshkosh College of Nursing and Board of Visitors.   The Nightingale Award for Nursing Practice program honors registered nurses and licensed practical nurses involved in direct patient care who exemplify the highest standards of nursing practice. In 2016, 19 outstanding nurses from across Wisconsin were nominated to receive the Nightingale Award. Four were awarded the honor. Each award recipient receives a cash prize and an original commemorative award symbolizing the spirit of Florence Nightingale.  Other Agnesian HealthCare nurses were nominated, including: Kathy Grochowski, RN, BSN, MSN, APNP, Internal Medicine, Fond du Lac Regional Clinic; Brenda Kissinger, RN, BSN, Emergency Department, St. Agnes Hospital (SAH); Kathy Mueller, RN, ADN, Neuro/Medical, SAH; Susan Schmitz, RN, ADN, Outreach Nursing, SAH; and Andrea Smits, RN, BSN, Surgery, Waupun Memorial Hospital.   “Agnesian HealthCare is honored to work with outstanding nurses,” says Jim Mugan, senior vice president of Clinical Services with Agnesian HealthCare. “To have our nursing associates honored in this way reflects our continued commitment to quality care for our patients, and to our nurses – those individuals dedicated to providing the personal touch to our patients each and every day.”  Muranyi has been with Agnesian HealthCare for the past eight years, and was noted for her flexibility and compassionate care given to her patients.  For the past 22 years, Muranyi has traveled twice annually to Mexico on surgical mission trips with a specialty in eye surgery. Traveling with a group of 10 to 12 volunteers, this mission group will screen approximately 500 patients and perform 70 to 80 cataract surgeries in four days helping patients regain the gift of sight.
