  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Allen Giles on 
the occasion of receiving the Central Valley Coalition of Nursing 
Organizations' 2004 RN of the Year Award for Clinical Practice. A 
banquet honoring him and three other award winners will be held Friday, 
May 7th at the Radisson Hotel in Fresno, California.
  Allen Giles consistently provides the highest quality care to all of 
his patients. He started his career with Community Medical Center in 
1978 as a Registered Nurse and later became a clinical instructor. 
Allen is currently employed by Community Home Health as an RN. Allen 
demonstrates proficiency in assessing, planning, implementing and 
evaluating the delivery of patient care. He has a proven track record 
for accurate assessment and appropriate treatment plans, which has 
earned him the respect of the physicians and colleagues.
  Allen is an expert in IV management. He is a Certified Registered 
Nurse in Infusion and provides IV infusion training to other health 
care professionals on his own time. Allen reviews IV cases to determine 
if additional staff are needed. He assists in introducing new 
technology to the Home Care field by reviewing new product literature, 
field testing of the product and practical application in the Home Care 
setting. He collaborates with members of the health care team to 
formulate, implement and develop techniques for nursing care. Mr. Giles 
is a genuine humanitarian. He attends case conferences even on his days 
off so that he can communicate an accurate summary of care to his team 
members. Allen truly cares for every patient and does so with courage 
and poise that only a leader in the field of nursing could possess.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Allen Giles for his excellence 
in the field of Clinical Practice. I invite my colleagues to join me in 
wishing Allen many years of continued success.
