When it comes to putting a laboring mother at the top priority, you can always count on Alison to give 110% and provide the highest quality of care. Alison is very intelligent and is able to use her critical thinking skills to help better the care, outcome, and experience for all of our patients. Alison is not afraid to advocate for her patients, one of the many qualities that makes her such an excellent nurse.
I remember a time where Alison had a labor patient who had lots of swelling in her legs and feet and Alison was not afraid to call the Physician in the middle of the night and advocate for the patient's fluids to be decreased to help with the swelling. I have never heard a patient complain about her, in fact, patients often request to have her care for them on the next shift. I would trust Alison and would want her to be my labor nurse. She demonstrates respect, compassion, and integrity with every patient. Alison is very professional, even in the scenarios where a patient's beliefs and practices may differ from our own. Alison educates and teaches patients so they may be more successful and involved in their own care.
Alison is a coworker who wants nothing more than for our unit and team to be successful and provide high quality and individualized care with every patient. She has joined the OB unit council and has brought ideas and discussion to the table on ways to help better our unit. Alison is respected by coworkers and is reliable, jumping in to help at any moment. Alison is a well-rounded individual who brings so much to the OB unit and is a true asset
