  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Ms. Joyce Holland, a 
registered nurse, who is a distinguished and devoted professional in 
her field.
  In 1992, Joyce earned her associates degree in Nursing. She later 
joined the nursing staff of Boulder City Hospital as a registered 
nurse/medical decision support coordinator in 2000. Joyce served as RN/
MDS Coordinator for 6 years before retiring in 2006. After a brief 
retirement, Joyce returned to Boulder City Hospital in 2007 as the long 
term care director, the position she holds today. Throughout her career 
at Boulder City Hospital, Joyce's high degree of professionalism and 
enduring compassion have earned her the respect of her colleagues and 
have made her invaluable to her patients.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor Joyce Holland. Her passion and her 
love of nursing have improved the lives of countless patients in Las 
Vegas. I thank her for her dedication and commitment to the community 
and wish her the best in her future endeavors.
