Christine assisted the med surg nurses as SJMS during a Code Blue and, in this situation went above and beyond.
She served as both a patient and staff advocate with quick thinking and open communication to all involved. After the patient was revived, Christine stayed at the bedside for over three hours providing care to the patient while arrangements were made for transfer. After the incident, Christine provided morale support to the other nurses involved offering encouragement and many thanks for a job well done.
Well done, Christina! Thanks for your commitment to excellent care.
