Deb sprang into action and took control.
A student had a medical emergency in the holding area of the operating room. Deb sprang into action and took control. She obtained a code cart, alerted the RRT team, and began taking lead to direct care. Deb made sure all medical and safety concerns were addressed for this student. She continued to assist after the RRT arrived. Debra is dedicated and a professional and she would say, "it’s all in a day’s work". Her care and compassion as a nurse are amazing. We are honored to work with her.
