Nate was recognized by a patient recently for his professionalism, dedication to nursing and ability to remain professional and caring in an emergent situation. The patient stated in his letter "I particularly wish to commend Nathan Porter for his ability to immediately recognize and correct a serious situation that developed. A bladder scan disclosed I have over a thousand cc's of urine I could not pass. After 2 hours plus irrigation session, Nathan was able to remove some thirty plus ounces of blood clots and get things back on a more normal track. The situation was critical as the urologist had been notified and was on route to the hospital. Nathan's professional approach to resolve a pressing condition speaks highly of his dedication, previous experience, ability to handle emergency situations that unexpectedly arise and his commitment to his nursing career. Please extend my sincere and heartfelt gratitude for a painful task professionally and exceptionally accomplished.
