Without Vanessa's actions, the patient would have died. She caught a diagnosis which prevented full renal failure in the patient.
My patient had AMS. Vanessa was on point in recognizing the change in condition. She was well informed and took immediate action. I could function as a doctor properly because she was truly my eyes and ears. Without her actions, the patient would have died. She caught a diagnosis which prevented full renal failure in the patient. If anyone is deserving of this award, it would be Vanessa. I hope HCA Pearland does everything possible to keep her and continue to create an environment where more RNs like her can be present!
