  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Nancy

Nursing Organizations' 2004 RN of the Year Award for Advanced Practice. 
A banquet honoring her and three other award winners will be held 
Friday, May 7th at the Radisson Hotel in Fresno, California.

provides exemplary care. She is currently a Perioperative Advanced

educator and neurosurgical coordinator. She holds a Master of Science 
degree in Nursing.
  Ms. Schreiber has been a significant part of Community Medical 
Center's surgical services for over 17 years. She is a genuinely 
thoughtful person who is not only doing her job to help others, but 
also, trying to make an impact on their lives. She is a founding member

Providers and has developed an English-Spanish phrase manual for use in 
the Perioperative areas. She is also a ``hands-on'' educator and has

  Nancy has been involved in the process of writing two nursing 
standardized procedure manuals, The Nurses Pre-operative Screening of

  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Nancy Schreiber for her 
excellence in the field of Advanced Practice. I invite my colleagues to 
join me in wishing Nancy many years of continued success.
