Jenn made a positive impact on her profession by advocating quality on a post-surgical patient in need. She recognized the warning signs of distress, stayed with the patient and family, contacted anesthesia, and did everything needed to help the patient. Other disciplines got involved due to her persistence. She escorted and stayed with the patient in CT and onto ICU for the hand-off. This patient did end up going back to surgery for internal bleeding. She showed her commitment and loyalty by checking his status for the next several days. Thank you Jenn!
