July 21, 2025Categories: Awards and Recognition
Dawn Litvinchyk has been selected as the April 2025 Colleague of the Month at Saint Francis Hospital. Dawn, Nursing Education Coordinator, is being recognized for her commitment to colleagues, patients, and the Trinity Health Of New England Mission.
Dawn Litvinchyk, Nursing Education Coordinator, was selected as the honoree for April.
Dawn, who has been with Saint Francis for 13 years, is responsible for the overall organization of nursing student clinical placements, the onboarding process, and the establishment and maintenance of professional relationships with nursing schools and clinical instructors. With over 450 nursing students from many local schools and universities each semester, Dawn ensures each one is set up with EPIC training, ID badges, security access requests, clinical units, and onboarding, all in a timely manner before the semester begins. Her nomination noted, “It is amazing to see this process in play because Dawn does it with expertise, leadership, and the utmost professionalism.”
Dawn’s manager recently received an email from a clinical instructor from UConn expressing their sincere appreciation for the exceptional onboarding process for capstone (senior nursing) clinical students, saying the process was “remarkably organized, allowing our students to quickly integrate into their clinical rotations.” Another leader said, “Dawn’s unwavering dedication and exceptional work ethic truly set her apart. She consistently goes above and beyond, and her willingness to share her knowledge, coupled with her patient and approachable demeanor, fosters a collaborative environment and empowers her colleagues to succeed. Her commitment not only enhances the overall efficiency of our organization but also exemplifies the values we strive to uphold.”
Congratulations, Dawn!
