May 2019 Honoree
katelyn soukup, RN
Soukup was immediately attentive to a patient's needs, according to the nomination. "She treated the patient as a person, with compassion and confidence." Soukup also acted as a calming force for the patient's family, providing thorough explanations about the patient's status.
Soukup recognized the patient was going septic, a life-threatening condition in which the body fights a severe infection that has spread via the bloodstream, and quickly notified other staff to come up with a plan of action. The nominator states that Soukup was the driving force behind the team who ultimately saved the patient's life, not only easing panic, but also creating an efficient flow that left the nominator in amazement.
