Lisa Smith, RN, is employed with our internal nursing float pool. She’s frequently assigned to work on 3 South. Every shift, Lisa arrives with a smile. She writes inspirational messages on our team board and is always available to lend a hand. On one particular shift, there was a patient on the unit who received news his leg would be amputated. Lisa discovered the patient in the hallway crying. Although Lisa was not assigned to care for this patient, she jumped right in to assist. Her compassionate words were therapeutic for the patient. She even showed him videos of people with leg amputations still doing activities that gave them joy: videos of people dancing and even winning a track meet! The patient responded to Lisa’s encouragement with a sincere thank you and hug. Lisa deserves to be recognized for her natural ability to connect with patients and staff.
