Kira Clark, RN I

I would like to nominate this registered nurse for outstanding patient care and safety. During a routine check, she identified that a patient was not speaking, though not in visible distress. She called the Rapid Response Team (RRT), which led to a stroke alert for new-onset aphasia.

Throughout the extended RRT, involving multiple specialties, she communicated effectively, providing critical information that expedited care. Her quick action and collaboration helped timely administration of TNK and a thrombectomy, improving the patient’s outcome.

This nurse exemplifies exceptional clinical judgment, communication, and commitment to patient safety. Her dedication to proactive, evidence-based care ensured the best possible outcome for the patient.
