Jonathan is a nurse one should be incredibly fortunate to work with. He consistently provides extraordinary clinical skills, advocacy, compassion, and professionalism. Jonathan will always volunteer to care for the most challenging patients/families. Patients that typically exhibit very violent behavior “safe patients”, that others tend to shy away from. With his calm and compassionate care, the results, in every case, are a positive outcome. Parents thank him with URoc cards, Press Ganey, and personally. Jonathan is always professional, never engaging in harmful behavior. He consistently looks at staff’s positive attributes. Lastly, I do not think I can accurately describe the incredible teamwork he provides to all the staff. It is selfless and unyielding, especially on high census days. When most of us are exhausted, Jonathan carries on with his positive, compassionate care, without complaint, consistently. There was a situation in which a late add-on patient was not identified as having any special needs. Due to the patient’s severe developmental delay, the patient became very aggressive and combative during the pre-op process. It took many nurses, child life, and security to help subdue him so he could be sedated enough to go into surgery. The mother of the patient was visibly upset and worried about how her son would do post-op. The information was relayed from the pre-op RSN to the PACU RSN to plan for two nurses to recover the patient. This would leave PACU short staffed but was necessary. After hearing this, Jonathan volunteered to recover the patient alone, believing it would be less stressful for the patient. He read up on the patient’s history to get more information and found out from the mother’s assessment what the negative and positive triggers would be. Jonathan then requested an isolation room, knowing the glass partitions would keep the area quieter. Once the patient arrived, was clinically safe and assessed, he dimmed the lights and called for the family immediately. Jonathan explained everything a parent could expect after surgery and the plan for her son to have a smooth recovery. When I came to give him his lunch break, he said he’d rather go after the patient leaves to keep it to one staff person. I asked if he needed anything at all, but he explained all that he did with the mom and would call for help if needed. About an hour or so later he requested a wheelchair for transporting the patient to the car and insisted that he do it himself. When the mother left, she was happy and relieved.
