Reagan Gorman, RN: The Nurse Whose Compassion Feels Like Family

Power of Nurses | By |

What makes a great nurse unforgettable isn’t just clinical skill—it’s the ability to turn care into connection. For Reagan Gorman, RN, BAYADA Home Health Care, that connection runs so deep that one client, Navy veteran and avid cyclist Scott Kriner, describes her: “She’s not just a nurse—she’s part of our family.”

That rare blend of expertise and empathy is why Daily Nurse is proud to honor Gorman as our Nurse of the Week, recognizing the compassion and commitment that also earned her the title of BAYADA’s 2025 RN National Hero of the Year.

Nursing That Transcends the Task

For Gorman, nursing isn’t just about wound dressings or vital checks—it’s about treating the whole person with dignity, advocacy, and heart. When Kriner faced life-altering injuries and chronic wounds after a traumatic accident, she didn’t just manage his healing. She became a trusted constant in his life, helping him regain comfort, strength, and a sense of peace.

It wasn’t just home health. It was a human connection. And for Kriner, it changed everything.

Going the Extra Mile—Literally

Reagan’s commitment to care doesn’t stop at her own clients. She’s equally dedicated to her colleagues and the communities she serves. When BAYADA launched a new office six hours from her home, Gorman didn’t hesitate. She traveled across state lines to train staff, support fellow clinicians, and ensure clients never missed a beat in their care.

That willingness to step up—whether for a patient or a peer—shows the kind of leadership that makes her stand out in the nursing profession.

Why She’s Our Nurse of the Week

Nursing today demands more than technical skill. It calls for humility, heart, and a sense of responsibility that stretches far beyond the bedside. Reagan Gorman exemplifies all of these qualities.
