Con upholds and steers this massive and complicated ship every single weekend, and all on his own.
Con holds up the entire hospital every single weekend. He is often faced with extreme staffing shortages, very little administrative support, and confronted with some of the strangest situations. He looks at each issue through the eyes of an incredible leader and never makes any decision without doing his research. He’s incredible support for the nursing staff and remains positive. He has been an incredible role model for me!
***
Con not only exemplifies an outstanding role model, but he exceeds it with leaps and bounds. He, on numerous occasions, will take time out of his very busy shifts to take new grads to codes to get them more comfortable with critical scenarios. Also, he teaches them IV skills and other nursing skills that they may not often get otherwise. He is a mentor, a teacher, a coach, and a role model that everyone aspires to.
He truly cares about nurses and growing new nurses in the profession by his demonstration of these traits. You could ask anyone who works weekends with him, he takes on things outside of his role daily to help nurses get through their shift. He genuinely wants to improve patient care and outcomes for our patients. I cannot say enough about him and what an asset he is to this facility. We would not be the same without him.
