During a Trauma Brown Code the Nurses, Techs, Security Guards and even the Housekeeper worked together. What impacted me the most was “what great teamwork, what a team!!! I know they are trying!! The mother of the child noticed every effort been made by everyone, she was so appreciative. Although sometimes as caregivers we have a difficult time and our work can bring so many challenges, on this day and so many others I see the staff working together without being told to. I saw people trying to save a child. I saw people working harder than ever!!! People crying, identifying themselves with this mom who desperately cried for her child. We were so moved by this tragedy and the ER staff made a collection to help for the funeral services. I would like to thank Zonia and Tania for starting this collection during the night shift. When I went to take the collection to the mother, she told me she would go to the ER to personally to thank everyone who was there that day. She also expressed how happy she was that I was there representing our ER. Sometimes it takes a tragedy to realize how lucky we are for having our health and our children safe. It also makes us realize what Nursing is all about. It doesn’t matter if changes are occurring for the safety of the children. What matters is that we work with a great team!!! I would like to thank everyone who was there that day. Not only in direct contact with this patient, but everyone who was in the ER because everyone worked together and did not forget about every other patient. I would also like to thank everyone who donated money, because even though we did not pay for the funeral in total, we helped this single mom. |
