Taurus has been with the system since 2012. He is known for his consistent compassionate care. He is a patient advocate always, even if he is the only one. The department lights up when he clocks in. He is happy to be here and it shows. Taurus is an excellent critical care nurse and more important than that, he takes care of his patients with his heart. This is one example of his practice: The supervisor on nightshift received a call from the crisis team from the Gwinnett Police Department saying a lady and her two children were in a hotel lobby and the hotel was not allowing her to stay because she could not pay for the room. They were calling to see we if we would allow them to stay in our lobby overnight because in the morning someone would be able to find shelter for them. It was approved. The supervisor then called Taurus to be on the lookout for this family. The family didn't show up, as the police did not know we had okayed therequest. This is when Taurus' heart took over. He went around to his co-workers and collected enough funds to pay for a night's stay in the hotel and some extra for food. He then reached out to the Gwinnett Police Department and they informed him what hotel the family was in. When Taurus got off work at 3 AM, he drove to the hotel and met this family and paid for their room. He found out while he was there this family were evacuees from Florida and arrived here with nothing. He returned to his department, found some appropriate clothing from what had been left in the department and drove back to the hotel to give the family clothing for cooler weather. I am certain this act of kindness not only affected the family but the hotel staff also. It made an impact on our staff as it reminded us why we are all here. This is just one example of how Taurus nurses with his heart!
