Her commitment to the team and her patients is not just about performing her duties—it’s about enhancing the overall patient experience and helping the entire department function smoothly.
She is an exceptional nurse, caring for every patient in a kind and compassionate manner. On her "downtime" in between patients you will find her helping her peers and patients alike by ensuring that patients are not delayed in their stay by prioritizing essential tasks, such as labs, EKGs, and other procedures, to facilitate timely care and reduce unnecessary wait times in the department every day without being asked. It is clear to see she is passionate about her work and genuinely cares for everyone who walks into the hospital.

Nurse Youlanda at Medical City Fort Worth, is a vital and valuable member of the team. Her dedication and compassion are clearly demonstrated through her consistent actions that make a meaningful difference in the care of patients and support for her colleagues.
One particular situation stands out, showcasing how she goes above and beyond to help others and ensure excellent patient care. On one occasion, the department had a particularly high volume of patients scheduled for assessments. It was clear that the team was going to be stretched thin, and there was a possibility of delays for patients waiting for pre-surgical testing. Even though she had already completed her shift, she recognized the need for additional help and decided to stay late.
Instead of leaving when her shift ended, she immediately pitched in to assist the nursing staff with taking vitals and conducting assessments for patients who were waiting. This not only helped reduce wait times but also ensured that the patients were prepared for their procedures the next day. Her willingness to stay late and support her team prevented any disruptions in the care process and ensured that all patients received the attention they needed before their surgery.
In another instance, the team was short-staffed due to unexpected absences, and she was asked to float to a different position within the department to provide extra support. She quickly adapted, seamlessly transitioning into the new role and assisting with patient intake, answering questions, and coordinating with other departments. Her ability to switch between roles and still provide excellent care to patients demonstrated her versatility and strong teamwork skills. This flexibility allowed the team to manage the workflow more effectively during a particularly challenging day.
Her commitment to the team and her patients is not just about performing her duties—it’s about enhancing the overall patient experience and helping the entire department function smoothly. Her selflessness in staying late to support colleagues, her efficiency in taking vitals, and her ability to float and assist in different areas as needed are just a few examples of how she goes above and beyond to ensure that both patients and staff are well cared for.
In every instance, she has shown that she is not only a skilled and reliable nurse but also a compassionate and dedicated team player who truly makes a difference at Medical City Fort Worth.
