Mrs. Fallon was a tough nurse for an instructor. She told me "If you can't take it off me, what makes you think you can take it from a Dr?" I am proud of my reputation as a Nurse for 28 years and still going strong. Thank you, Mrs. Fallon, for instilling in me, all that you have. You are a remarkable legend.

Mrs. Fallon was truly a remarkable woman. I will never forget all the knowledge she willingly shared with us in clinical. I am thankful I had the chance to learn from her and laugh with her. She made me a better student and helped mold me into the nurse I have become. Thank you Mrs. Fallon.
