She provided emotional support to the patient and even helped assist us as needed during the dressing change.
Nurse Brooke was taking care of our patient during the day. My Co-resident and I had a very challenging dressing change to perform, and I asked Nurse Brooke to administer a narcotic medication to pre-medicate for the dressing change. This was around 7 pm, and she was signing out to the night shift Nurse. She graciously retrieved the medication and administered the medication prior to us starting. She willingly stayed to assist my co-resident and me for its entirety. She provided emotional support to the patient and even helped assist us as needed during the dressing change. Her assistance was vital in facilitating a successful dressing change. This work ethic should not go unnoticed, she should be recognized for going above and beyond.
