Shane is one of the most helpful nurses I've come across on F7. He's very level headed and never minds helping out any of his coworkers.
Always the generous soul, he makes it a point to bring candy whenever he's working. If there's ever a nice tray of candies at the nurses' station, you can bet that it was probably him that set out those sweet treats. He may be contributing to making our tummies bigger, but the sweet gesture is still appreciated!
Since the unit has been so short-staffed, there's usually never a secretary at night to answer phone calls or call lights. Whenever he gets finished with his rounds, he'll sit at the nurses' station to alleviate that burden from the charge nurse.
He's probably done the most compared to many others to clean up the unit and make it more habitable, from emptying filled garbage cans to going through cabinets to organize and clean up unnecessary paperwork.
Shane is usually the first one I think of to call if there's a nurse who needs a witness for medication or to help change a heavy patient.
I feel that all the extra work he does needs to be appreciated. Thank you!
Note: This is Shane's 2nd DAISY Award!
