kathleen remy, RN

A patient who was sick and had a mental illness was admitted to the Acute Unit. The patient was very unsettled and needed compassion and companionship that went beyond the RN care. The patient would come out of their room to seek out people because the patient did not want to be alone. Kathleen would do charting and paperwork in the patient's room to keep her company. Kathleen spent time and talked with the patient during meals and down time. When the family arrived they were appreciative of the one on one care their family member had received.
