Chrysoula... a caring, compassionate nurse and advocating for her patients
Chrysoula immediately recognized stroke symptoms on her patient and initiated a code stroke. The patient ended up getting TPA but had an initial reaction. She immediately called a code "TPA" to assess whether or not the patient was bleeding. A bleed was ruled out but the patient had a large vessel occlusion and was subsequently transferred for surgery. This is one of many examples of Chrysoula being a caring, compassionate nurse and advocating for her patients. I have witnessed it first hand on multiple occasions.
