Megan was receptive to my feelings and made me feel validated and that I was being heard by someone who cared what I was saying.
P - Passion/compassion - During my stay at the hospital Megan showed such caring compassion toward me and the situation that I was going through. She never ever left the room without asking if she could do anything else for me. She always was letting me know what the physicians were ordering and what could be expected.
E- Empathy in the situation - I was very scared and nervous after just having a big surgery that I would have to have surgery again. That was something that I expressed not really wanting to do. Megan was receptive to my feelings and made me feel validated and that I was being heard by someone who cared what I was saying.
T - Trust and Teamwork - Megan was in frequent contact during my hospitalization when I had questions to help remember to ask the physicians that were coming in. I had several seeing me and toward the end of my stay in the hospital they switched up who was making rounds so she assured me of the competence of her fellow workers that would be seeing me.
A - Admirable attributes - Active listening, especially when I was expressing my fears.
L- Love for the patient and healthcare profession - You can just tell that Megan loves her job as a nurse and I can say that she is good at it. I felt completely comfortable talking with her and expressing what my feelings were. She even had informed me during a conversation about my own schooling that she had received her masters, but missed patient care so came back to floor nursing.
S - Selflessness - I am an FHN employee and due to my surgery at the beginning of the month have been off work. On Friday, payday, I found out that my paycheck had been shortened by accident. HR was going to have to write another check that I could have mailed or pick up. Being that I was in the hospital I could not leave the floor. Megan offered to go on her break and pick it up for me if I wanted her to. That was a very nice offer of her and not something that I think others would have offered.
Megan truly is an asset to the organization and deserves to be recognized for it!
