Reason for Recognition? I witnessed something today that challenged me to be a better nurse. I watched a fellow nurse with a busy schedule take it upon herself to help a new pt to her provider, and Welia, get a establish care apt with primary care, get a signed release for records and fax it to the other medical center in order to have records available to Family practice for review at that appointment. All because she noticed he had unusual swelling in his lower extremities when she was helping to get his shoes off. Patience went above and beyond the “Normal” rooming not because her schedule was slow, but because she saw a need in her patient and wanted to help. She inspires me to do my best but also push that “best” to think of what else I could do. It would have been easy for her to simply tell the patient to stop at the front and make an appointment but she doesn’t believe in pushing work off on others when she is able to do it. I was just touched by how second nature it was for her to step in that way. Thought she needed a shout out.
