As a staff nurse in the MICU, Jocelyn is exemplary. She is a team player who is always willing to help no matter how busy she may be. She is the coworker that you can always count on. Jocelyn inspires others to always go the extra mile for patient care. She is truly committed to her patients and always makes sure they are comfortable in every way. Over the years, she has had numerous letters of recognition and thanks from family members regarding her excellent patient care.
Some comments from families include:
"Jocelyn took the time to listen with her heart. She is so gentle and caring and we are so grateful that she was my father's nurse."
"I appreciated the honesty in Jocelyn's eyes when speaking about my son's condition. Because of her I was able to make sure his father was here to say good-bye before he passed."
"I really appreciated how Jocelyn supported my decision and made my husband's last breaths comfortable."
Jocelyn is an amazing source of support for patients and families when there seems to be no hope for a peaceful outcome. Her skill and compassion shine brightest when assisting families with end-of-life decisions. Recently, her patient was suffering with terminal cirrhosis in end of life. Jocelyn carefully supported the wife's decision to stop life-sustaining measures. She suggested the wife let the children speak to the father by phone. One by one the children told him they loved him. His heart beat slowed, and he died with his wife and parents at his bedside.
I cannot stress enough the positive impact that Jocelyn has had on me as a nurse. Her commitment to caring is exemplary and she inspires us every day to go the extra mile for patients and their families.
