Colin exceeds the definition of an Extraordinary Nurse and deserves recognition! Colin provides prompt care anytime I have a concern about a patient. He collaborates respectfully with the bedside nurse and always has a positive attitude. I had a patient that I brought to his attention that I needed assistance with. The patient was on the close to being transferred to the ICU -Colin, without hesitation sat with my patient as I had to round on my other patients, to remind her to take deep breaths on the bipap to ensure that the proper gas exchange was effective. Colin took the time to explain the Patho- physiology of what was happening to my patient and also provided resources so I could research more. While he was sitting with my patient he was able to connect with her to gain her trust to ease her. He put music on for her and they were singing together at one point. Colin exemplifies the mission, vision, and values of Northbay and ACU is in good hands when he is on as a rounder!
