I just wanted to recognize members of the 7C team that worked last night. The team on the job displayed exceptional teamwork on NE. The incredible cooperation makes me proud to be a member of the 7C team. One of the nurses, Gianna, called for an RRT on a patient. The patient was really sick, and Gianna made it part of her care plan to round and provide care to this particular patient more frequently than usual. Gianna was very attentive to the needs of the patient. As the patient deteriorated, she advocated for the patient and called a doctor to evaluate and provide needed medical care.
However, despite all these actions, the patient's condition continued to worsen. At first, an RRT was called but had to be upgraded to a code blue situation. This was Gianna's first RRT and code. But as a novice nurse, she did not hesitate and acted like she had done this 100 times in the past. The 7C team working that shift stood by Gianna's side. Lauren H was in charge, helped with numerous nursing interventions, and did not leave the bedside the entire time. The other team members helped with other interventions until the patient was stabilized for transfer to a higher level of care.
Bri Rubin supported the team by making supplies available, assisting with patient care, and answering call bells. Sarah R. stepped up and helped plan the next shift's assignment and complete the boards to ensure everything was ready for the day shift. Situations such as this test the resolve of a team, but because of teamwork and the greater need to help care for patients under our care, our nursing team sailed on and moved steadily along with a conviction in our hearts to help and serve. It is really reassuring that in times of need, our co-workers have our backs. Whether that nurse is new or seasoned, that sense of care for one another and for our patients continues to hold us together. Thank you for showing the true essence of nursing during that shift.

The 7 Center nursing staff deserves to be recognized as a DAISY Team for their compassionate care provided to a patient during an RRT. The care that all 7C team members demonstrated was unsurpassed. Every team member jumped in, not only to provide medical care but to make this patient feel safe during what was a frightening experience for him. The culture of the 7C staff always has been and continues to be: to work together as a team and to put patients first. The characteristics of 7C staff define what it means to be a Jefferson Nurse.
