Donnette is also a great advocate for the patients and her staff, and always handles difficult situations with great professionalism.
Donnette Damon is the charge nurse at Madison Irving Surgery Center (MISC), and she is a fantastic example of an exceptional nurse leader. I started working at MISC which was my first time working in an OR setting, and she took me under her wing and went above and beyond to make me comfortable in this new position. Donnette truly models Crouse's mission, vision, and values through her work every day. She cares deeply for the safety and well-being of the patients, and her fellow staff. I cannot count the amount of times I have come out of my room in a panic looking for something and she instantly stopped what she was doing to assist me. She has created a very trusting environment that promotes great teamwork in the OR, resulting in positive patient outcomes.
Donnette is also a great advocate for the patients and her staff, and always handles difficult situations with great professionalism. She is a great resource for policies and ensures things are done the right way, which is not always the easy way. She encourages her staff to act with compassion and respect in all settings. She motivates me to be better and learn more every day to produce better outcomes for my patients. I have learned so much about what it means to be a leader from watching her, and so many people have benefitted from her being in this position.
