Not sure what to say?

I had to go look at my resume to see what year I worked with Jeanie. It was 2009. I was hired to be a PRN case manger for weekends. I just wanted a PRN job. I was blown away away by the increased responsibility the case mgr role had evolved into. I almost resigned. But thanks to Jeanie´s training and faith in me, I stuck it out. She had so much grace for my learning curve. I remember during my training, she asked me to cover her unit "all by myself" so she could take the day off for...

I had the pleasure of working with Jeanie as a Case Manager at San Joaquin hospital in Bakersfield, CA for many years. She was a great mentor and friend and one of the smartest and most capable women I've ever known. She loved her 3 sons, her grandchildren, brother, friends and was a great advocate for her patients. My deepest sympathies to her family. Rest well, dear friend. You are with your Savior, Jesus and enjoying eternity. But you will be remembered and missed.

Mom, I´ll miss you forever. I´ll see you again someday. Love you so much!

Dearest Jeanie I was very sad to hear about your passing. I enjoyed working with you at San Joaquin Hospital. Rest in peace my dear friend. Prayers and condolences to your family.

Amy Razor, I loved working with Jeanie, she was a wonderful nurse.

I am saddened to hear of Jeanie´s passing. She was not only a dedicated nurse, but a strong patient advocate and an incredibly intelligent, compassionate woman. I had the privilege of working with her through the patients she referred for rehabilitation, and her commitment to their well-being never went unnoticed. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time. May you find comfort in the impact she made and the lives she touched. With deepest...

So very sorry for your loss.

I had the pleasure of working with Jeanie at San Joaquin in the Case Management Dept. She was a pleasure to work with and always had a smile on her face. She was an excellent RN/CM. You will be missed my friend. My deepest condolence to the Rucks family.

Sending my love and prayers to the Rucks family ... I credit my successful career as a case manager to the guidance and mentorship of Mrs. Rucks. It was through her encouragement and support that I made the transformative decision to transition from floor nursing to case management. God planted the seed of this idea in my mind to inquire about Case Management. I´ll never forget when she approached me and asked if I had ever thought about becoming a Case Manager. Mrs. Rucks was an instrument...
