|
became an employee of the Department of Public Safety the following |
|
year, and is today employed by the Department of State Health |
|
Services; and |
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Flynn completed his master's degree in nursing |
|
at UT with a perfect 4.0 grade point average in May 2002 and became |

certified as an advanced practice nurse, or nurse practitioner, |
|
with a wider range of responsibilities; and |
|
WHEREAS, In all his endeavors, Mr. Flynn enjoys the love and |
|
support of his family, including his wife, Becky, and his daughter, |
|
Jessica; and |
|
WHEREAS, Recognized on May 8, 2007, with the Austin Advanced |
|
Practice Nurses Alliance Award of Excellence, this exemplary health |
|
care professional has earned the respect and friendship of all who |
|
work at the Capitol; reliable, hard-working, and knowledgeable, he |
|
is justly esteemed for the skill, compassion, and good humor with |
|
which he faithfully discharges the duties of his post; now, |
|
therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
Legislature hereby honor Tim Flynn for his outstanding service as |
|
Capitol nurse practitioner and extend to him sincere best wishes |
|
for continued success; and, be it further |
|

|

|
House of Representatives. |
