Josie Schemmel, RN,BSN

We had a 3-year-old patient who was going to surgery, and she was very scared. Josie took the time to help the child write a letter to Santa and deliver it to the “Santa mailbox” in the OR. The patient willingly walked back to the OR because of her initiative and desire to help alleviate any negative feelings the child might have had from being separated from her parents; instead, she had a very positive experience. Thanks for your creativity, Josie!
