  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Wendy Adams who has 
distinguished herself as an outstanding and devoted professional in her 
field as a Registered Nurse.
  Wendy began her nursing career in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1967 as a 
nurse's aide at Holy Cross Hospital while completing her education. In 
1971, Wendy completed her studies and began her tenure as a staff nurse 
at Sunrise Hospital Medical Center. Wendy was hired by Valley Hospital 
Medical Center as a staff nurse in 1974 and was subsequently named a 
Charge Nurse. In 1980, she returned to Sunrise Hospital Medical Center 
and worked as a Head Nurse until 1983. Wendy was asked to return to 
Valley Hospital in 1983 and has worked continuously as a Head Nurse, 
Manager, and Director.
  Wendy's entire nursing career has been defined by a commitment to 
excellence and dedication to serving the patients first. Wendy balances 
good patient care with fiscal responsibility and ensure that all her 
patients are satisfied.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor Wendy Adams. Her professional 
expertise and caring nature have greatly enriched the lives of those in 
the Las Vegas community. I commend Wendy for her efforts and commitment 
to her patients and to our community.
