BrightStar Care of Morris County Proudly Celebrates Our Wonderful Nurses!
Thank You to Our Morris County Director of Nursing
Nurses aren’t angels, but they may be the closest thing we have in the workplace.
For 12 of past 13 years, nurses have topped the Gallup Poll of the most trustworthy professionals. Patients and their families know why.
While doctors diagnose illnesses and prescribe medication, surgery or other treatment, it’s often nurses who explain medical procedures, help manage symptoms, respond to emergencies, listen to family concerns, allay patient fears, soothe worries and find ways to make difficult situations bearable.
A nurse’s mission is not only to save lives, but to promote and preserve quality of life.
We are very grateful to have an exceptionally compassionate Director of Nursing at BrightStar Care of Morris County and want to recognize her during National Nurses Week for all her contribution and commitment to providing our clients with a higher standard of care.
Meet Margarida Barbosa-Barreiro R.N., Director of Nursing
My love for healthcare started at a young age, growing up taking care of my family and friends. In 2010, my dream was realized when I became a Registered Nurse. My dedication to providing the highest quality compassionate care has allowed me to continue to grow. That passion for quality care has continued, since I started working for BrightStar Care® of Morris County, NJ as the Director of Nursing. At Brightstar Care, in cooperation with our Clinical Team, we aspire to provide the highest standard of care for our clients and families by not just focusing on medical needs, but also emotional and spiritual needs as well. I am currently enrolled in a Master’s Program and my ultimate goal is to become a Nurse Practitioner. My professional experience has been focused on the adult/ geriatric population. I had the opportunity to care for the under served population as well as working in private practice within a multi-specialty group. Also, being fluent in Portuguese and Spanish has allowed me to reach a larger client base. I have been very fortunate to meet wonderful professionals and clients that have helped me become the person that I am today and gave me the inspiration to want to be a better person and professional every day.
