Hannah’s quick actions and persistence truly impacted this patient’s quality of care.
Hannah was the intake nurse who received the story of a patient who came in via triage. Hannah was very concerned about the patient’s story and demanded that she be placed in a room. Upon placing the patient in a room, Hannah examined the patient herself. Hannah was unsure of what she was seeing and immediately came to me, the charge nurse, to get further guidance. She insisted that a doctor go in there immediately. After some discussion, she finally got a physician in the room, and after an hour of being in the ER, Hannah and I took the patient to the OR. Hannah’s quick actions and persistence truly impacted this patient’s quality of care. I am so glad to work with nurses like Hannah.
