I watched Jodi handle a situation with a patient with nothing but care and compassion.
I have been helping on various units through the pandemic and Jodi has been so supportive and helpful. She does not make you feel like you are asking "dumb" questions and takes the time to help whenever she can. She always checks on her fellow staff members to see if they need help as well. I also watched her handle a situation with a patient with nothing but care and compassion. A patient who was on airborne isolation came to the desk to ask a question and Jodi quickly put on her PPE, acknowledged the patient, and helped them return to their room. She acted very calmly and quickly to be sure the patient received help while ensuring the safety of her fellow coworkers. Jodi is an excellent nurse who goes above and beyond for her patients and coworkers.
