Philips celebrates the remarkable career of Elleton “Mickey” McCullough, 78, and how she guides new nurses. See her at home, in her community and in the classroom at Winston-Salem State University, where students share why they still look up to her 30 years after she trained them. For experienced and new nurses alike, Mickey’s biggest lesson has been one of inspiration. As someone who exemplifies resilience and determination, she’s encouraged countless nurses throughout America – and even as far as China – to never give up in their pursuit of becoming the best nurse they can be.

Philips is proud to honor nurses like Elleton 'Mickey' McCullough, who help new generations of nurses find their rhythm by sharing the gift of experience. Philips is proud to celebrate America’s more than five million registered nurses and appreciate how they make a difference as trusted advocates who make sure that people, families and communities get quality care.
