There are so many examples of how Jeanette is a DAISY nurse.
One Sunday night there was a young patient on the Pediatric unit who needed an IV and was a “hard stick”. Nurses tried to insert the IV but were unsuccessful. Jeanette was asked if she could come to Peds to help. By now the child’s parents were more than a little anxious, Jeanette got the IV. Plus, she helped even more. Jeanette is bilingual. The parents could communicate in English but it was tough. They could talk with Jeanette in Spanish. She applied her calming reassurance. It made a world of a difference for them.
On another weekend evening, an L&D nurse reported, “What was the name of that ED nurse? She was great!” L&D has a patient, newly arrived and ready to deliver at any moment. At just the same time, another new L&D patient presented to Registration in the ED area. Usually an ED tech would bring such a patient up to L&D from Registration. But Jeanette had done an “eyeball assessment” and decided to put this very soon to be mom in a wheelchair and bring her to L&D herself. Upon entering L&D, Jeanette saw how busy it was. So, she asked someone where the IV tray was. She helped the patient change into a gown, assisted the patient to a bed, obtained blood samples, started the IV and reported off to an L&D nurse. L&D’s patient was now delivering. Jeanette’s patient delivered about 15 minutes later, just 40 minutes after arriving into Registration.
Jeanette is willing to help just about everybody, any department, and any campus.
