Hannah Katt, RN

I was so overwhelmed. We were asked to care and give love to a patient brought into the ED. I was told she was brought into the ED with multiple bone-deep wounds, stuck to her blanket. She was also in her feces for a long period. The ED got the wounds cleaned up, but she was being sent up to us with no orders for wound care. This was going to be a very overwhelming case. I asked the charge nurse if she would please call down to Wound Care and see if anyone was still there on a Saturday at 5:30 pm! Luckily Hannah was still in the building. She stayed longer than she was supposed to, to help dress the wounds. Taking care of those wounds made this overwhelming situation manageable.
