Bethany was the nurse for a patient who acutely developed life-threatening septic shock. This was likely the sickest patient in the hospital at the time. BP 50/30, HR 170's, sat 80%. She calmly and professionally assisted the MICU team in a very smooth resuscitation. She assisted with numerous producers, gave complicated stat medications, and observed the patient's hemodynamics closely with a skill and efficiency years beyond her experience. Because of her quick actions, this patient stabilized. They survived this life-threatening event due to her critical care. This was truly an exceptionally dire situation and she did an amazing job.
