Karli Wood-Jones, RN

My mom is an Alzheimer's patient and was admitted for a UTI. While on 3 West, she had several days that she was confused. On one occasion, she was very anxious. Nurse Karli took extra time to make her a comfort object using a glove to make a "stress ball". When we moved to the 4th floor, mom wanted to take this "comfort object" with her. This is a representative of Karli's continuing effort to relieve Mom's anxiety even when Mom was difficult. Karli made a great attemp to contiunously connect with the patient. She displayed the best of the nursing profession and brought credit to herself, the profession, and NMMC.
